Set of stamps from the Seychelles (with WWF seal). Each motif is also available as an individual first day cover (Official First Day Cover from 1985). Seychelles giant tortoises existed more than 100 million years ago, they are among the longest-living representatives of the animal kingdom and live for around 150 years. They are the only land tortoises that drink through their noses. The males make hotter noises during mating. They are not very picky when it comes to food, which ranges from a variety of plants to fish washed ashore and dead members of their species to plastic sandals. Their armored appearance is still impressive.
