Blood vessels near the cut constricted is the mechanism that her body used to minimize the blood loss.

The mechanism in which blood vessels near the cut becomes constricted to prevent blood loss is known as vasoconstriction. This mechanism is the first response of the blood vessel to damage and it is initiated by vascular smooth muscle cells. Immediately a blood vessel is injured (cut), the blood vessel near the cut will constrict (narrow) which will make the blood flow through the affected area to be blocked or minimized. This way the amount of blood loss is reduced.

g100num [7]
Galapagos islands are groups of island in the pacific ocean that are known to have a wide range of  native animals such as giant tortoise that found no where else on earth. These native animals helped Darwin in the development of the theory of natural significance which attributes to the biological significance of the Galapagos islands. Human species is a threat to the natural wildlife on these islands mainly due to poaching and destruction of natural forests that destroys habitat and also impacts negatively on biological diversity of living organisms.
