Galapagos Tortoise
The Galápagos Tortoise is one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring reptiles on Earth, known for its immense size, gentle nature, and extraordinary lifespan—often exceeding 100 years. Native to the Galápagos Islands, these tortoises played a key role in shaping Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Weighing up to 250 kg and measuring over 1.2 metres in length, these slow-moving giants spend their days grazing on grasses, fruits, and cacti. Each island population has evolved slightly different shell shapes and behaviours, adapting uniquely to its environment.
Once driven to the brink of extinction by overhunting and habitat destruction, Galápagos Tortoises are now the focus of major conservation efforts. At Crocodiles of the World, we’re proud to care for this extraordinary species, offering a rare opportunity to meet one of the most legendary reptiles in the natural world.
