Description On a sandy beach, a giant tortoise can be seen slowly making its way towards the sea. These reptiles are known for their slow and steady pace, and can live to be over 100 years old. The giant tortoise is one of the largest tortoise species and can weigh up to 500 pounds. They are primarily herbivores and can go for months without food or water. Unfortunately, these majestic creatures are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and introduced predators, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
