Land turtles

Only found in the Schelles and Galapagos. The name of the island comes
form the word saddle which these turtles seem to have. Eric was in
heaven.

'Lonesome George' is over 100 years old and is the last of the
species...no other of that species exist.

There are so many species because lava fields do not allow these land
turtles to mate with other turtles that are nearby.
