Question
the galapagos islands are a collection of 19 islands in the south pacific, 604 miles off the coast of ecuador. the islands are formed from lava flows and have active volcanoes, as well as craters and cliffs. the islands have multiple climate zones, including humid areas and dry areas. lower elevations have open cactus forests, while higher elevations have lush forests with ferns and grasses. these plant varieties support a diverse range of animal species.
the galapagos islands are some of the most biodiverse places in the world due to their unique species and physical characteristics. some animals are endemic, or native, to one island, but not found on any other. as darwin observed, a tortoise that thrives on one of the islands may not fare as well on another, even one that is still relatively close by.
thousands of plant and animal species are endemic to the galapagos islands because of the islands remote locations, unique climates, and diverse landscapes. in fact, the galapagos islands have more native species than most other places in the world. about 97 percent of the islands reptiles and land mammals and about 80 percent of the islands plants and land birds are endemic. several animal species are unique to the galapagos islands, including the giant tortoises that inspired charles darwin.
