World’s Biggest Tortoise - Galapagos Tortoise
The world’s biggest tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise. Galapagos tortoises inhibit the Galapagos Islands on the west of Ecuadorian mainland. Galapagos tortoises can weigh up to 400 kilograms (which is about the weight of two male African lions). The Galapagos tortoise can grow to a length of 6 feet and can live for up to 200 years. If a human generation is taken to be the average age women starts having children, which is 23 years, then, a Galapagos tortoise can therefore be said to live for nine human generations. Galapagos tortoises can only move for a distance of about one kilometer in 4 hours.
