Just decades after facing mass extinction, the giant tortoise is now thriving as a species after a significant baby boom.

Scientists studying the Aldabra giant tortoise, native to the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, have found that the species outnumbers the country's human population.

About 183,000 individual Aldabra giant tortoises are living on the African atoll, after their numbers dwindled to only 1,000.
