Weekend Reflections

This little guy (who's about 3 inches long) might
grow up to be more than 4 feet long and weigh over
600 pounds, and live to be 100 years old!  In the Galapagos,
giant sea tortoise eggs are collected and incubated.  Then the
hatchlings are hand-raised for 5 years, until their shell is
hard enough to protect them from predators.

Weekend Reflections

Haven't played for a couple of weeks,
but that's because I was Internetless in
Ecuador. I found this giant tortoise
(and its reflection) in the Galapagos.
