15-5620-Giant Land Tortoise

Here's an image of a giant tortoise poking his face into the sunlight. Housed at the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island, this magnificent tortoise shares his cushy surroundings with several other tortoises at the Old Tortoises raising centre. The saddest occupant is "Lonesome George", the last survivor from Pinta Island in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
