Santa Cruz Island Giant Tortoise (Chelonoides porteri)

Many Galapagos tortoises are already extinct, thanks to man's greed. But some species are still hanging on at some of the larger islands and some few are being raised at the Darwin Research station on Santa Cruz and released on their respective home islands.

This pair was carrying on with reproduction when they got rudely interrupted by a bunch of shutterbug tourists. I think we've been spotted...get off me, ya big lummox.
