this book makes me want to go back in time and punch the nearest European explorer. seriously, you discover an island filled with wonderful, enormous creatures simply living their lives and your first thought is to hunt them into extinction??

Captain David Porter, I am obsessed. What a character. He’s so anime and he was part of the navy! And he journaled about Tortoises. He documented his observations but didn’t come to any conclusions, he had his work separate from his hobby but what a guy.

Humanity truly eats its way to ruin

Never in my life did I think the wonders of our world would have such dedication backed by science as it is so magically portrayed in this book
