Tortoises

Creeping out of prehistoric times are these amazing living fossils. Mostly they inhabit the Santa Cruz Island where there is more lush vegetation. Here they wonder around the island as they wish. Among the cow fields and within the farms that grow corn, plantain or coffee. It is rather amusing to spot one of the twenty thousand of them as you drive by in the bus. Oops there’s one and there’s one, there’s a cluster. Some are more than 100 years old.
