The Galapagos
The Galapagos
You can find off Peru's southern coast,
islands home to unique wildlife.
The Galapagos Tortoise for one.
This iconic reptile they boast.
Critically depleted by the host
habitat's loss to man's farm life,
gentle giants roamed since time begun.
Some folks think they are good to roast.
One of Earth's long-lived creatures almost
150 years sans strife
and weighing in up to a half-ton,
this awesome guy has earned a toast.
Known herbivores, by nature milquetoast,
age 20 before choosing wife,
saddle-backed or domed, bask in the sun.
Endangered, protection utmost.
