Exhibit of the Day: the Galápagos tortoise in the Hall of Reptiles and Amphibians! Did you know? Some Galápagos tortoises weigh more than 660 pounds (299 kilograms), making them one of the world’s largest living tortoises! Today around 20,000 tortoises live across the Galápagos Islands—just 10% of the estimated population before humans arrived. Numbers are increasing today thanks to conservation efforts.Photo: M.
