I am a Giant Galapagos Tortoise

I may be almost four foot long,
but you scare me a bit
I shall retract my neck and head into my shell
what are you doing in Galapagos anyway?
you do not look like our usual species
I am the oldest living land animal in the world
yes, I am reclusive, so please go away
I will live to be one hundred and fifty
if I am not disturbed
