Giant tortoises are any of various large land tortoises formerly common on the islands of the western Indian Ocean and on the Galápagos Islands.[1]
Giant tortoises are from two remote groups of tropical islands: the Aldabra Atoll and Fregate Island in Seychelles and the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. These tortoises can weigh as much as 417 kg (919 lb) and can grow to be 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) long. Giant tortoises originally made their way to islands from the mainland via oceanic dispersal; for example, the Aldabra Atoll and Mascarenes giant tortoises are related to Madagascan tortoises while the Galapagos giant tortoises are related to South American mainland tortoises. Tortoises are aided in such dispersal by their ability to float with their heads up, and to survive up to six months without food or fresh water.[2]
Giant tortoises are among the world's longest-living animals, with an average lifespan of 100 years or more.[11][better source needed] The Madagascar radiated tortoise Tu'i Malila was 188 at death in Tonga in 1965.[citation needed] Harriet (initially thought to be one of the three Galápagos tortoises brought back to England from Charles Darwin's Beagle voyage but later shown to be from an island not even visited by Darwin) was reported by the Australia Zoo to be 176 years old when she died in 2006.[citation needed] Also, on 23 March 2006, an Aldabra giant tortoise named Adwaita died at Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata. He was brought to the zoo in the 1870s from the estate of Lord Clive and is thought to have been around 255 years old when he died.[12][better source needed] Around the time of its discovery, they were caught for food in such large numbers that they became virtually extinct by 1900.[citation needed] Giant tortoises are now protected by strict conservation laws and are categorized as threatened species.
