Lonesome George, see description below:103 viewsThis is the one and only Pinta Island tortoise (Geochelone elephantopus abingdoni). It is a male known by his keepers as Lonesome George. Despite decades of effort to mate him with two females (you can see one of them to the left), George has refused so far. He probably has lost it - when you don't use it, you lose it! And when he dies, the Pinta tortoises will be extinct. Scientists at the Charles Darwin Research Station have tried cloning, but all the clones died young! They tried artificial insemination without success either. Sadly, Lonesome George died in early 2012 (edited in July, 2012).Jul 27, 2008
