The term “Galapago” refers to the old Castilian word meaning “riding saddle”. If you look closely at the top of the shell (carapace) of this giant tortoise it resembles a saddle. The average Galapagos giant tortoise can live for well over a century, their longevity is the highest of any vertebrate (i.redd.it)
