A kind of tortoise not seen in more than 110 years has been found in the Galapagos Islands. A female from a species known as the Fernandina giant tortoise was discovered last weekend on the island of Fernandina. The Galapagos is a group of 20 islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador. The islands belong to Ecuador and the tortoise discovery was announced by the country’s ministry of environment. It said that the creature was identified by researchers from the Galapagos National Park and the Galapagos Conservancy, a group based in the United States. Wildlife experts had thought the Fernandina giant tortoise no longer existed. The researchers said they believe the adult female tortoise is more than 100 years old. The animal was taken to a breeding center for giant tortoises on the Galapagos island of Santa Cruz.
