Boats near Pelican Bay at low tide.	Tigger riding the Giant Tortoise (OK, I know it's a statue, but HE doesn't!)	The pens for the really young tortoises at the Charles Darwin Research Center.	Lonesome George, the last of his kind.
These guys can really stretch their necks.	We could get really close to the tortoises as they ate at the research center.	Yum! Lunch!	Closeup of feeding tortoise.
This guy has an eye infection. Most of the large captive tortoises are rescues from town.	I think we caught the attention of the guy in the back. Maybe he doesn't like flash photography.	Watch out, Tigger! I think the tortoise wants you for lunch.	Eleanor and Kathleen relaxing before lunch.
