Galapagos Tortoise in a Grassy Field

This Galápagos tortoise’s life isn’t too difficult. It’s probably going to spend all day wandering around this field, munching on the grass, and napping in the sun.

However, if times do get tough, this tortoise is prepared. Its metabolism is slow enough that it can go without food or water for a whole year, subsisting entirely on stored fat.
