High on the misty mountain tops of Santa Cruz roam some of the Giant Tortoises of the Galapagos. At Rancho Manzanillo they have provided the ideal grounds in which these giant creatures can graze for food and find prospective mates if the season does arise.
The boots are for protection against the fire ants that have invited themselves to stay, and on this day they came in handy on account of the rain.
These are incredible creatures to be amongst as they roam free in their native land. We saw six this day and we count ourselves blessed that we could visit them and that they are not all extinct.
That would be cool to actually have them around naturally.
ReplyDeleteAs we were driving to the ranch we spotted one tortoise walking down the road and another in the field where there were cows. They have the run of the land in this area and very cool to see.
