This you can believe, they could not adapt to this changing situation around them. However, the fact that they lived healthy lives and with their own life skills. Note that special essence of a biological perspective.
Evolutionary history
You are amazing, because their existence is just a demonstration defenders of evolution and selection of Darwin. We can see that after a long-term experiment of evolution, the life of turtles on the Galapagos Islands are also the remarkable evolution of the environment faced. They have adapted to the new environment and survived those who had failed to live by nature abandoned. For example, terrapin Saddled are adaptable likely to live in warmer, drier islands with sparse vegetation and turtle dome in cool damp islands. On the other hand, veteran has also protects against attack by many predators, at the same time, they always win in competition with other animals for food supply and territory.
The turtle now spread around the islands and evolve to different races in different form of the species that originally came with. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a very good example of the evolution and the work of our nature.
