the most unusual places in the world. The reason is that they are the home of some of the last
giant tortoises left on earth.
Weighing hundreds of pounds, these tortoises wander slowly around the rocks and sand of the
islands. Each of these islands has its own particular kinds of tortoise. There are seven different
kinds of tortoises on these islands.
Hundreds of years ago, thousands of tortoises wandered around these islands. All that changed
when people started landing there. When people first arrived, their ships had no refrigerators.
It means that fresh food was always a problem for the sailors on board. The giant tortoises
provided a solution to this problem.

Once the animals were aboard the ship, the crew would roll the tortoises onto their backs and
use them for soups and stews.
