Description
3D scan of a giant tortoise from the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, created by the Natural History Museum of Vienna under license CC Attribution-NonCommercial.
For a long time, the giant tortoises of the Galápagos volcanic islands were seen as one species. Now they are considered to be separate species, most of which were eradicated in historic times. Chelonoidis abingdonii - of which one specimen is shown here - lived on Abingdon Island. This specimen was acquired by the NHM Vienna in 1914.
