076 Galapagos Tortoise porteri ssp 0390

It wasn't long until we encountered our first Galápagos Tortoise. It was right on the path (see cover slide). As we walked along we saw many more like this one. These are the domed type. Also note that the vegetations is much lusher in the highlands than we'd been seeing on the coasts.
