Moving a lot faster than you think, on the edges of the Galapagos Islands live the Island Tortoises. Faster than most tortoises! These tortoises are the oldest and largest on the planet! They can go for a full year without eating! “Galapagos tortoises are herbivores that eat prickly pear cacti (a favorite) and fruits, as well as flowers, leaves, and grasses.” Quoted from animals.sandiegozoo.org. Male Island Tortoises can weigh more than an astonishing 500 pounds. And females average about 250 pounds!
Tell me they look like dinosaurs. C'mon. We both know.

Galapagos tortoises come in a great amount of variation in size and shape. Such as the domed carapace, and the saddle-backed carapace.
