Well, think <em>big<\/em>. Literally! They were named after the Galapagos giant tortoise. Weighing upwards of 500 pounds (females can reach around 300 pounds), these impressive creatures arrived on the islands over 2 million years ago.&nbsp;And they&#8217;re not alone. As a matter of fact, the area is famous for its magnificent marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab your snorkeling gear and jump into the water for the chance to see manta rays, dolphins, sharks, and more! What&#8217;s more, don&#8217;t forget to look for the beloved,<strong> <\/strong>yet sadly endangered, Galapagos penguin (for more information or ways to help, take a look <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/species\/galapagos-penguin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). Standing only 20 inches tall, it utilizes its small size by living in snug spaces like the crevices in lava rocks.
