These t-shirts spotlight other Galapagos tortoises with the name of the individual on the front and a comical personal description on the back. The shirts are bright blue and slate gray. They are available in all sizes in both men’s and women’s styles. A percentage of all the proceeds go to Galapagos tortoise conservation.
