Natureworks replica of the longest-lived land vertebrate, the Galapagos Tortoise, is handmade with fibreglass and detailed paintwork to capture the unique characteristics of this iconic species. The shell of the tortoise sculpture is meticulously sculpted to replicate the textural intricacies and ridges of the actual tortoise shells, creating a lifelike and authentic appearance. Although appearing solid on the outside, a genuine Galápagos tortoise shell is composed of hollow structures resembling honeycombs. These areas contain pockets of air, contributing to a lighter weight that facilitates mobility for these creatures. These air-filled spaces also enable Galápagos tortoises to float when they encounter water! This craftsmanship brings the best of art and wildlife together.
