My kid is doing a research paper on the Galapagos Tortoise and needs to find a growth chart for them. Anyone have any ideas where she can look - we've gotten frustrated at this point.
Thanks for the help.

Size vs. age is a tough, as growing rates might reflect good and bad seasone as well as differences from island to island.
Lemme look. I might can find something.

Ok, there isn't much. The first link is a very interesting paper on the Galapagos Tortoises; the second concerns the nearly as large Aldabra Tortoise. That one has a growth chart of sorts.

Hope this helps a little.
