The average weight of a Galapagos tortoise is a staggering 900 pounds, and its origins can be traced back to the same island where they were first discovered.
A colony of tortoises was established in the desert in the 1970s by Diego, a tortoise, and eleven of his buddies, all of whom had been abandoned as children.
Diego was the leader of this society.
Things evolved throughout the course of time, thanks in large part to the assistance of the last member of his kind.
In the aim of repopulating a critically endangered turtle species, researchers have made the decision to relocate some of them to the island of Espaola.
We are quite fortunate that the turtle was allowed to keep his original gender.
The director of the park in Espanola said that he has never seen his staff happy than they are right now because of Diego’s efforts to save the extinction of his species.
Because to Diego’s efforts, the species he belongs to is no longer in danger of becoming extinct.
It has been determined by a number of different scientific missions that by the time Diego reaches the age of 100, he will weigh around 190 pounds.
The knowledgeable staff member at Galapagos National Park elucidates further that they do not know precisely when he was transferred to Spanish language classes.
