Answer:
The Galapagos tortoise reproduces by sexual reproduction. After the female has gone through what we call labor, the mother gives birth to 50 to 100 babies. She digs up a spot in the sand and barres her babies. She then goes back out to sea and the little guys are on their own. It then takes about a half a month for the babies to hatch. Once they do, they all scramble to the sea, never second guessing themselves. If they don't make it to the water, they are defenseless against predators. If they make it to the water, they might have a chance. Once they grow to one year old, they probably will grow up to be 75 to 100 years old.
