Giant Tortoise

Giant tortoises - one of the slowest animals in the world, are any of several species of enormous land tortoises, including several extinct species and two living species with multiple subspecies that were once prevalent on the western Indian Ocean islands and the Galápagos Islands. They drink a lot of water when it's available, which they can store in their bladders for a long time. The saddle-backed shell and the domed shell are the two main varieties of shell among them. They each have unique adaptations to various surroundings. The saddle-backed tortoises are the smallest tortoises in the Galapagos Islands, yet they have a long neck and two pairs of legs. Giant tortoises graze on cacti and reside in the dry zone.

Domed tortoises are larger tortoises with shorter necks and legs that live on more vegetated islands and eat grass. They sleep for an average of 16 hours every day. The ambient temperature and the availability of food determine their level of activity. They are active at midday during the chilly season, napping in the morning and afternoon. During the summer season, they are most active in the early morning and late afternoon, while they relax and attempt to stay cool in the shadow of a bush or half-submerged in muddy wallows during the midday.
