Here in the Galapagos islands, we find a Galapagos tortoise and a pair of medium ground finches. Galapagos tortoises have a mutualistic relationship with finches, allowing them to remove parasites from where their legs meet their shell. The shell itself is made up of conjoined protective keratin plates that are fused with the ribs.
