Lonesome George, last Pinta Island Tortoise, dies.

Postby KonokoHasano » Mon Jun 25, 2012 4:28 am

He was the last known surviving member of the Pinta Island Tortoise subspecies, and he has passed on at almost 100-years-old.

A species has just gone extinct.

that is, if there isn't a hidden colony somewhere. There have been times when a species thought to have been extinct has been found again.

Still, that's a bummer. But if he was the last, there wasn't much hope anyway. <_<
