22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Giant Tortoise in Galapagos Islands

Galapagos Islands has a cornucopia of wildlife but no animal spoke to me like this impish tortoise. It was cool, oh yes, and it watched me as I watched it with those piercing eyes. I found it funny and the tortoise was SO big. This was the best tour! Yes, this animal was my favourite!!
