  20. BBC: Giant tortoises return to Galápagos island after nearly 200 years. “Giant tortoises are roaming the Galápagos island of Floreana for the first time in more than 180 years, in what conservationists have called a ‘hugely significant milestone’. The release of 158 captive-bred juvenile tortoises onto the island is part of the Floreana Ecological Restoration Project led by the Galápagos […]

  21. Muuten se on sitten vain kansantarua ja legendaa, ettei pohjoisella pallonpuoliskolla olis pingviinejä

    .. ei ole, muita kuin Galapagosin pingviini (Spheniscus mendiculus)

  23. The #GalápagosIslands, off the coast of #Ecuador, are home to sea lions that sleep at bus stops & birds so tame you can touch them. It’s easy to see why Charles Darwin found the archipelago so special when he visited in 1835.

    Since the pandemic, the islands have become more accessible to visitors because of rentals on Airbnb. Critics say that’s altering the #ecosystem.

    #SnailKites in #Florida Probe #CharlesDarwin was right about #Evolution once again.

    When #snails--the prey of #SnailKites evolved and got 5x bigger, so did the the #BirdsOfPrey:
    their beaks also increased in size, so did their bodies, the latter 12%.

    A similar adaptation by another species of #birds had been observed on the #GalapagosIslands.
