The Galapagos tortoise is endangered primarily due to habitat destruction, introduced species competing for resources, and illegal poaching. These factors have greatly reduced their natural habitat and population size, making them vulnerable to extinction. Conservation efforts such as habitat restoration and captive breeding programs are underway to help protect and rebuild the population of these iconic creatures.
The numbers of birds with different beak shapes are changed by natural selection in response to the available food suply.
The Galapagos archipelago, a remote group of Islands belonging to Ecuador, consists of many small volcanic islands and many of these have their own indigenous species of tortoises. For example, tortoises from Isabela Island are distinct to the tortoises from Santa Cruz. They are all 'giant' tortoises though. The rarest of all is the Pinta Island Tortoise, with only one known survivor, Lonesome George. There are many threats to the Galapagos tortoises and three main ones are: 1) Indigenous populations and fishermen eating the tortoises. 2) Species that are non-native to the islands being introduced. This is especially true of goats and pigs which bred in huge numbers on the islands, destroying the food and environment vital for the native tortoises. 3) Tourism: there is a growth in eco-tourism to the Galapagos, many wanting to see the giant tortoises. Unfortunately this rapid growth in tourism can lead to grazing land being destroyed and wild torts becoming even scarcer.
Enormous numbers were minted - for example, about 14 billion in the US - so the answer is a very definite yes.
Small numbers migrate to Pacific islands, particularly Hawaii.
False. An enormous number of them are divisible by three.

poda pati is the reasons why the western coast of Arabian gulf to have a big number of islands.
There are truly no given numbers are to how many islands are in Southern Europe. You can estimate, however. Southern Europe borders the Mediterranean Sea. This sea contains about 1,460 islands. Since most Mediterranean islands are located in Europe, it is safe to say that about 1,350-1,400 of these islands are in Southern Europe.
The Galapagos tortoise is considered vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Captive breeding and release of young into natural habitat has strengthened numbers, but five of the original 15 species are already extinct. DNA analysis is being done on museum specimens of those five taxa, and results are pending. Is the Galapagos tortoise almost extinct? It's vulnerable, but it seems to be making a bit of a comeback.
calculate long polynomials to high precision by the "method of differences", a technique resembling numerical integration but just involving enormous numbers of additions.
Blue-footed Boobies primarily live on the Pacific coast of Central and South America, including the Galapagos Islands. They can also be found in smaller numbers along the coast of the Gulf of California.
