About This Item

Gallop-agos.JPG

In very old Spanish “Galapagos” means “saddle” and the islands were called Galapagos because of the tortoises “saddle” shape carapace. The saddleback tortoises inhabit the drier islands and feed on the prickly pear cactus. Their long legs and the saddle shape of their shell allows them to stretch for food up to five feet off the ground.

Sorry it took so long to drop off, but once it got close to our trip to TX, we figured it was worth the wait to get it that far.

Icy trail and icy driveway to parking lot, but gallap-agos was dry as a bug. Replaced the ziploc bag which had a few holes.
