Tartarugas em Galápagos [1] viveram por 90 anos como um casal e agora não podem se ver mais que se bicam. :P Lembrei de outra tartaruga [2][3] que vive na Ilha de Santa Helena a mais remota do mundo e q tem quase 200 anos, interessante associar com todos eventos q a humanidade já passou e pensar q ela poderia compartilhar.

[2] Lisa Honan on Twitter: "We don't know when Jonathan's birthday is, but 2019 means he is at least 188 years old. How? He was fully grown when he arrived on St Helena in 1869. Tortoises are 50 years old fully grown The oldest land animal in the world and he's in my back garden Happy Birthday! @NatGeo… https://t.co/xfeL6L33KN"

Muito bom! Criaturas fantásticas.

Galápagos é um lugar que gostaria de conhecer um dia.

Lembrei do Darwin

“I was always amused when overtaking one of these great monsters [a tortoise], as it was quietly pacing along, to see how suddenly, the instant I passed, it would draw in its head and legs, and uttering a deep hiss fall to the ground with a heavy sound, as if struck dead. I frequently got on their backs, and then giving a few raps on the hinder parts of their shells, they would rise up and walk away; – but I found it very difficult to keep my balance.”[...]
“…by far the most remarkable feature in the natural history of this archipelago…is that the different islands to a considerable extent are inhabited by a different set of beings…I never dreamed that islands, about fifty or sixty miles apart, and most of them in sight of each other, formed of precisely the same rocks, placed under a quite similar climate, rising to a nearly equal height, would have been differently tenanted.”
