Lonesome George

Lonesome George is a Galápagos Pinta Island Tortoise. He's not an endangered specie. His situation is worse. Lonesome George is the very last of his kind. His ancestors were basically slaughtered by the likes of mankind. Feral goats on his native island had devoured most of his vegetation. Now he lives a life of comfort and safety at the Charles Darwin Research Station, but poor Lonesome George will never have any future generations. There's aren't any females of his specie to pro create any more offspring. Although Lonesome George is still with us presently I was compelled to create this memorial in honor of he with the hope that they who may give this a read will take a more serious out look about preserving our endangered species. There is no greater sin in my opinion than when human kind plays a role in any specie's extinction. The only up side from all of this that I can see is that Lonesome George will most probably out live me, but when Lonesome George does eventually pass on his entire specie will then be forever all gone. No more of his kind will anyone ever again see. The Galápagos Pinta Island Tortoise will be history.
