Lonesome George II - The Last Of His Kind (161/268)

Part II: As a lover he is a failure. He remains impervious to the charms of the several ladies available to him. "Lonesome George" prefers his own company. Not that he is too choosy or too old - for a giant turtle his 70 years make him a sprightly young thing. Evidently Ms Right is simply not among the partners on offer. Lonesome George is the last of his kind; when he dies "Geochelone nigra abingdoni", as scientists name his species, will have disappeared forever from this planet. Recently this archipelago hit the headlines due to the threat of an oil catastrophe; meanwhile, this disaster has been averted, however the gradual dying out of the species continues. For George is not the only one whose species is threatened by extinction on Galapagos; but he is the only one whose fate has already been sealed.
