The Galápagos Giant Tortoises (Chelonoidis Niger), the Charles Darwin Research Station, Isla Santa Cruz, the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador.

Galápagos tortoise exploitation dramatically increased with the onset of the California Gold Rush in 1849. Tortoises and sea turtles were imported into San Francisco, Sacramento and various other Gold Rush towns throughout Alta California to feed the gold mining population. Galápagos tortoise and sea turtle bones were also recovered from the Gold Rush-era archaeological site, Thompson's Cove (CA-SFR-186H), in San Francisco, California.
