If you enlarge this image, the designs on the shell are interesting.
That is so cool to see one in the wild! I rode one at a zoo when I was 7, lol.
Pretty cool, Laura

Ravibhai I am watching all the photographs and really liked all of them. Birds and tortoise photographs looks so real!!! Thanks for sharing.
Sukumar, thanks for your comments. Since we were extremely close to the wildlife in Galapagos, the images do look real.
Magnificent creature!
Definitely agree, Pat
