HONEY, HAVE YOU SEEN MY DENTURES?
(((~~ MONTHLY THEME ~~)))
The Galápagos tortoise or Galápagos giant tortoise (Geochelone nigra) is the largest living tortoise, native to seven islands of the Galápagos archipelago. Fully grown adults can weigh over 300 kilograms (661 lb) and measure 1.2 meters (4 ft) long. They are long-lived with a life expectancy in the wild estimated to be 100-150 years. Populations fell dramatically because of hunting and the introduction of predators and grazers by humans since the seventeenth century. Now only ten subspecies of the original twelve exist in the wild. However, conservation efforts since the establishment of the Galápagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Foundation have met with success, and hundreds of captive-bred juveniles have been released back onto their home islands. They have become one of the most symbolic animals of the fauna of the Galápagos Islands.

I just love this!! We have had two tortoises as pets, but one of them let himself out of his outdoor space three weeks ago, and we haven't seen him since. I am still hopeful he is somewhere on our property and that he will return. This photo reminds me of happier times!

Wow, what a great shot and great timing! Do they really "talk" like this, or were these two about to fight? That is what I thought when I first saw it, but I don't know that much about tortoise behavior! Love the title too Dominick! LOL
