🐢🐢🐢 The scientific name for these animals is Geochelone nigra. They are the tortoises that can reach the largest size in the world. It is an animal that can weigh more than 400 kilos and live 170 years (the oldest may be this age). These animals are land turtles, but this does not mean that they cannot go to the water, but rather that they are turtles that can perfectly go to the water to cool off or drink but spend almost all their time on land. Where they live? These animals, although formerly they could be found in almost any territory in the world, today they can only be seen in some special areas of the Galapagos, on the oceanic islands and on the Aldagra island, which is located in the Saychelles. These turtles usually live or in the hot and dry lava soils of the Pacific coast. Some of these specimens live in the highest areas of the islands, because there they find more humidity, grass and even ponds to cool off and rest, others prefer islands that have lower elevations and have different types of vegetation such as cacti, depending on the sub- species to which they belong. And the highest concentrations of this type of animal are found in the Alcedo Volcano of Isabela Island, as well as in the mountains of Santa Cruz Island.
