Would you believe, up to a year? Wow!

Ecuador's Galapagos Islands (Las Islas de los Galápagos) translates to the Islands of the Tortoises. These magnificent animals are not found anywhere else in the world. They can live for about 150 years.
A Galápagos tortoise can go without eating or drinking for up to a year because it can store food and water in its body.
