Description
I waited for the kids to leave and so did Hugo as he loves cuddles as much as he loves his lettuce and carrots. Hugo is Galapagos tortoise who lives at Australian reptile park.
Galapagos tortoises are restricted to the Galapagos Islands, some 900km west of Ecuador off the South American coast. Each island has its own distinct subspecies, however, some of these have already been exterminated by people taking them for food and the effects of introduced animals such as goats destroying the native vegetation. The islands are volcanic and sparsely vegetated. Galapagos tortoises spend much of their time resting in mud wallows and waterholes. This keeps the reptile cool while also assisting to support its great bulk. They will migrate to the moist, cooler highlands during the hot, dry season and move back to the lowlands during the rainy weather.
