Hi everyone. Have you ever hear of lonesome George. He was the last Pinta tortoise of his kind and died on June 24th 2012. He lived a long lonely life and when he died he brought the extinction of his species. This link doesn't really have a reason I just thought it was interesting and sad to know about this large giant friendly tortoise who died so recently and he was so loving to mankind. RIP GEORGE. Here is a photo of him. ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1401301477.380064.jpg

I wish! My husband and I have Galapagos on our list of places to go when our children finally leave home... they can pay for their own trip out there!
