captain alligator 29 Nov 2025 Do Galapagos giant tortoises have different neck lengths depending on the individual? Some individuals don't have very long necks.

SivatheriumGuy 29 Nov 2025 @captain alligator, it mostly depends on the species (or subspecies, depending on which taxonomy you are following). This is Praha's (and apparently Europe's!) only Pinzon giant tortoise (Chelonoidis duncanensis), a taxon with a notably longer neck.
