The Galapagos islands
They eat grasse, cacti, and
other vegetation. They can go for more than a year without drinking or eating.
The most famous tortoise from Galapagos is the Lonesome George who was found in 1971 on
the island of Pinta. He is the sole survivor of his race.
There are four forms of sea turtles living in the Galapagos. Their front legs have modified into
flippers for the water. They breathe air, but can stay submerged for a long time. Depending on
their form, they feed on bottom algae, seagrasses, jellyfish, bottom sponges, crabs and
mollusks.
The Galapagos penguin lives farther north than any other penguin. Breeding on Isabela
and Fernandina islands, the penguin is monogamous and is not as social as other
penguins. They are only 40 cm tall.
Sea lions and fur seals are fin-footed mammals with amazing abilities in water. They
have a body length between 150 and 250 cm and they weigh between 50 and 400 Kg,
males are much larger than females.
