I had studied the Galapagos tortoise, I would have never thought this tortoise was so important to the world ( darwins theory of evolution) and to its own ecosystem. Although the tortoise is a common animal, finding information pertaining specifically to the Galapagos tortoise was extremely difficult. Instead of being able to use google easily having the first tab to be my answer right there, I had to search through document after document, file after file, article after article to find just one answers. This project has made me realize that research and correct research is a major key stone to a successful project. I enjoyed this project, even though the due dates of each section would creep up on me unexpectedly, I did good! I'm proud of my completely finished website, it looks professional and has correct cited information. Adding onto darwins theory of evolution, the Galapagos tortoise would differ from each island depending on the shrubbery and grass, if the grass is tall the tortoises neck would be long, and if the grass is short the tortoises legs would be short.
The most challenging part of this entire project was definitely just keeping up with the dues dates of each part and section and the research. Usually I would Google things and the answer would be right there but with this project I had to search through multiple articles and websites to find what the prey and predator are for the tortoise.
I enjoyed learning about the life style, habitat, and niche of the Galapagos tortoise, I never thought the Galapagos tortoise would be so important to an ecosystem, or was, considering they took all the Galapagos tortoises to the San Diego zoo because they were going extinct. I found out there life span is super long, and that they have hard times breeding and because of over exposure they have become extinct.
