Tortoise Breeding Center

The National park in the Galapagos have a tortoise breeding program to try to repopulate two species of giant tortoises. Eggs are artificially incubated to improve the number of tortoises that survive and the offspring are raised at the center until they're big enough and have a hard enough shell to survive in the wild. The day before we visited, 150 tortoises were released into the wild by the center.Baca lagi
