Galápagos tortoises typically lay between 2 to 16 eggs per clutch, with an average of about 5 to 10 eggs. The eggs are buried in the sand or soil, and after an incubation period of around 100 to 120 days, the hatchlings emerge. However, not all eggs survive to maturity due to various environmental factors and predation.
