My friend thinks I eat poop because I used to squish a bunch of these up into a big bar when I was little
Lonesome George, the last Pinta giant tortoise of his kind died today at Galapagos National Park in Ecuador, meaning the subspecies (Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni) is now extinct. His exact age was unknown, but he was believed to be about 100 years old. During his lifetime he was considered to be the rarest creature on Earth, and became a major icon for international conservation.
RIP George ;n;
Remember when people were seriously upset over the death of that really fat cat that Anderson Cooper had on his show? I wonder if the extinction of a species will get the same reaction.
GEORGE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO POOR BABY
FOREVER IN MY HEART
PRECIOUS BABY
He used to be my all time favorite animal when I was a kid and he still kinda is
;n;
sobbing so hard
I always wanted to meet this tortoise.
