... No one has figured out where the animals of the Galapagos came from or why they are there. ...
When Spaniards first discovered these islands, found multiples of Guanoes and land- turtles or tortoise, and named the turtles the Galapagos and that is how the islands how their name. When they got to the island they found nothing but seals, and turtles, and such big tortoises, that each could carry a man on top of itself. ... ”( Berlanga’s report) Galapagos doesn’t grow any of the common fruit & plants. ... (Edward Larson pg20-22)
No one can really explain how the animals got to the island. ... ( Edward Larson)
The Galapagos Islands are found 1000 kilometers (600 miles) off the west coast of Ecuador, South America. ... The very first island is thought to have formed between 5 and 10 million years ago, as a result of tectonic activity. (Galapagos conservation trust.)
The climate of the Galapagos Islands is distinctive because the islands lie across the equator and they are a long distance from another land mass. ... The Galapagos Islands have two main seasons: a cool dry season between July and December, and a warm wet season between January and June.
