Galapagos Islands: A World of Unique Wildlife

The Galapagos Islands are a group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean, west of Ecuador. These islands are famous for their unique animals that you can't find anywhere else in the world, like the giant Galapagos tortoises and birds with blue feet called blue-footed boobies.

The islands were formed by volcanoes, so they have lots of rocks and unusual landscapes. Scientists and tourists love to visit these islands because of their rich natural beauty and interesting wildlife.

Today, the Galapagos Islands are protected to keep their nature safe. They remind us how special and different each place on Earth can be!

A scientist named Charles Darwin visited these islands long ago, and the animals and plants he saw there helped him come up with his theory of evolution, which is about how living things change over time.
