Answer:

Probably not. This is because the islands at Galapagos islands are all diverse and the turtles that live on each island have characteristics that help them survive on their island and not any other island so if you were to move one of the turtles locations it probably wouldn't survive because it doesnt have the needed characteristics do survive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shell size and shape vary between populations. On islands with humid highlands, the tortoises are larger, with domed shells and short necks; on islands with dry lowlands, the tortoises are smaller, with "saddleback" shells and long necks.
