Some of you have probably heard of this old fellow named Lonesome George. This fine old fellow is the rarest reptile in the world and there’s a reason for this…he is the only one left (hence the name Lonesome George, genius…). He is also known as the Pinta Giant Tortoise and scientifically known as Geochelone abingdoni. This guy is a heavyweight man…88kg and 102cm in length~! He is also one of the smaller species…size is relative on Galapagos. He is roughly 60~90 years old. Darwin probably met his parents…
The reason why this fellow is left alone is no surprise…tortoise hunting for meat. Also, some dumbĀ fuck introduced goats on Pinta Island (one of the Galapagos islands). In case you’re wondering what have goats got to do with their massive demise, goats ate all their veggies…
So anyways, I thought I’d just give you readers a glimpse of this wonderful reptile…
