The still photos are mostly pretty accurate of their lifestlye. I was there just as mating season was starting up, so the males were pretty sensitive if one of their bretheren made a sharp move or bobbed his head:They are so sleepy! Any action/diving shots?

Got msn? If you want to talk to me just leave me a private message !
The Bensome moderator's wish is my command:
First, this is a wild tortoise, I think on Santa Cruz Island:

He was just grazing in a pasture like a cow. The tortoises were migrating and you could see their giant shells from a great distance. Here's one that shows the shape of the carapace a little better:

They were huge; I could easily have ridden one. I think this guy was about 5 ft long, if memory serves correctly. To give you a sense, and because I know some people on this site love pictures of poop:
DSCN0238..jpg
That's tortoise poop next to HernandosPapa's size 10-1/2 foot. You could stand that close and it didn't stink (the poop)! I think because their digestive tract may not rely on anaerobic bacteria?
Next someone may ask to see the tortoise frolicking and jumping around:

And this (on the left) is Lonesome George ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geochelone_nigra_abingdoni ) perhaps the most famous individual reptile in the world. HernandosPapa is keeping him company for now:

These three photos are not strictly speaking field herping, in that Lonesome George lives in a special tortoise research and breeding facility, as do these guys from various other Galapagos islands:

This is a posture they naturally go into when a special cleaning finch comes by to preen them (eating bugs off their skin)
Nice picture of tortoise I like them.
