The Galapagos Giant Tortoise is a species that can grow up to 5 feet long (1.5m) and can weigh over 500 pounds (225+kg). Although they’re primarily known as calm and approachable creatures, when mating season arrives, they often become obsessed with proving their dominance.
These giants are not territorial, and with no fixed territory they roam widely, migrating between highlands and lowlands. However, during mating season, males can become highly competitive, both trying to impress female tortoises. Males are known to ram each other, in an attempt to flip their rivals over to display strength and dominance.
They also have another strange way of proving themselves to the ladies, which involves pushing their necks up at each other. The tortoise that is able to stretch their neck the highest is usually considered the ‘alpha.’🏝
