One of the rarest creature on earth is the ancient saddleback of Galapagos. Consisting of a mainly plant-based diet, these gentle giants can grow up to 6 feet long and weight up to 800 pounds! With a generous appetite, they can eat up to 80 pounds of food a day and can survive for a whole year without eating or drinking anything. They are the masters of longevity with an average lifespan of over 150 years! This Reflections of Hope episode takes a closer look at a unique creature who teaches us how to improve our longevity and enable us to outlast the elements of this crazy world.

Please watch, share, and comment below of which characteristic of the ancient saddleback that you need more of in your life! Watch till the very end for special surprise scenes.
