Description
Hugo, the Galapagos tortoise from Gosford reptile park, loves his lettuce, his eyes almost seem to light up when he seen his bowl, lettuce and carrots are his favour !!! And he is my favour, such an amazing animal !!!
Galapagos tortoises may reach a maximum shell length of over a metre and weigh up to 180 kg in weight. There are some 14 distinct subspecies inhabiting different islands in the Galapagos Island archipelago. The shape of the shell varies quite markedly between the subspecies. Some are domed, some are flat, others have a raised area above the neck. The latter feature is thought to be an adaptation to allow the tortoises to browse on the lower branches of trees and shrubs. The colour of the shell is dark greyish-brown. They have large, strong legs and are quite capable of climbing over quite large rocks.
