Galapagos tortoises can live as long as 150 years, but they mature at an early stage, which represents about 20 to 25 years for those breeding in zoos, and 40 years for those living in the wild . When they mature, they begin to mate around. 
Their breeding season may last for a long period from January to August. There is something interesting on their way to find mate. In some wildlife documentaries, one can see some fight scenes between men. This may also occur in turtles, but their domination is very strange. When the brawl broke out between the men, both parties face, mouth open and stretch her head skyward as high as possible. The winner gets the female. After mating, the female goes to several kilometers from the nesting areas to find the right place to lay their eggs.
This place is dry and sandy, so they can bury their eggs. In determining the right place, it takes a long time to dig a hole about 12 inches deep, in which he lays down a hard-boiled eggs, which look like a billiard ball. In general, can do 2-16 eggs at a time. Then cover them with sand. After that, he makes a cap of mud mixed with urine, the hole seals. Then press firmly in its plastron. After all the work, leaving the eggs are incubated by the warm sun. Unlike most animals whose gender is confirmed, before leaving, if he or she breaks an egg is determined by temperature. Discipline is that if the temperature is low, more men will be. If it is high, more females.
