Their gigantic dimensions are impressive: their weight is up to 400 kg, and their length is more than 1.5 meters. They live for over a hundred years. Currently, they are under the threat of extinction, since for a long time they were destroyed for the sake of meat, in addition, their natural habitats have been reduced. The islands on which they live were discovered by the Spanish conquistadors. The name of the islands is translated from Spanish as a turtle. In those days, people loaded turtles on ships alive and ate them while sailing. Turtles for a long time could do without food and water, and the sailors had fresh meat.
