Galápagos tortoises are native to seven of the Galápagos Islands. Shell size and shape vary between subspecies and populations. On islands with humid highlands and abundant low vegetation, the tortoises are larger, with domed shells and short necks; on islands with dry lowlands and less ground-level vegetation, the tortoises are smaller, with "saddleback" shells and long necks. With lifespans in the wild of over 100 years, it is one of the longest-lived vertebrates. It is the largest living species of tortoise and can weigh up to 417 kg (919 lbs).
