Rats eliminated
[edit]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)
Wiki links
[edit]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)
- Chelonoidis nigra is the scientific taxon name for the common 'English' name Galápagos tortoise. I don't see what requires fixing. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 14:14, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
