{{Extinct turtles}} and fossil forms of both living and extinct turtles requires attention:many extinct articles require either expansion or creation and sources seems hard to come by. A list of fossil forms is being compiled so progress can be charted.

This comics page education feature says when sailors introduced rats (not intentionally, but their ships had them) this hurt the tortoises to the point where they almost became extinct. Now I know this is (or was) a featured article but it ought to say that. The comic strip got the information from somewhere. It's not clear except in the lede but the comic strip also says the tortoises were taken off the islands until the rats could be eliminated and then they were brought back.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:55, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

There seem to be a problem with the linked pages in other languages, which redirect to Chelonoidis nigra instead of their respective pages about Galápagos tortoise, for example in french, german, spanish, etc. I don't know how to fix it myself.--Aréat (talk) 11:20, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
