Meet “Lonesome George,” the last known example of the Pinta Island Tortoise, the rarest endangered animal in the world, with only “George” left. That we know about. The species was considered to have become totally extinct, until 1971 when this last specimen was sighted by rangers, who are desperately trying to find a mating female. they have even posted a $10,000 reward for that Turtle-ophile still holding out on us with the Pinta Island Tortoise in their personal collection. Hello, Michael Jackson Estate, we’re looking at you. To be honest, I have no idea if MJ used to own one, but he did try to buy John “The Elephant Man” Merrick’s skeleton, so who knows.
“Lonesome George” is estimated to be between 60-100 years old, likes long, long, long, long, long, long walks on the beach, and dislikes “fake types.” A romantic lettuce-eater just looking to meet that ‘special someone” who will coax him out of his shell and into the Galapagos Islands of their heart, George is a pretty special guy who would be a real “keeper” for any hot minx of a Pinta Island Tortoise female. More turtle than you could shake a Lord Howe Island Stick Insect at, for sure!
And what reclusive she-tortoise wouldn’t want to cozy down on scenic Pinta Island (aka Abingdon Island)? It is one of the historic Galapagos Islands, located some 525 nautical miles off the coast of Ecuador? It’s a little bit Ecuadorian Province, a little bit romantic national park, and a whole lotta biological marine reserve. Just perfect to sit back, read Darwin’s Origin of the Species, and hatch a few species-extending eggs, while, in the background, the swallow-tailed gulls, aqua iguanas and fur seals frolic.
Any interested she turtles should check out this video of “turtle porn”:
So, was I right, or was I right? Is “Lonesome George” not a big hunk o’ terrapin you could wrap your scaly legs around. Any serious female Pinta Island Tortoise out there looking to “knock shells” with him should contact him right away. But please… no “fast-ies” need apply.

Actually, the rarest animal on earth is Schrodinger’s Cat, since it only probabilistically exists.
The Doha Declaration said all the right things but to date has delivered virtually nothing to poor patients we

angling. In truth, the Global Game Fish Organization relation Palomar fishing knot as 1 from the strongest knots. The largest advantage of Palomar fly fishing knots is that you simply can tie them even at night with minimum exercise needed.
I hope they find a mate for this wonderful animal, he is truly a one of a kind species.

thanks for posting this your information might be very useful for the SEO peoples you have mentioned…
even though george mate with another subspecies.. (if he can mate) there’re still possibilities of getting the pure Pinta Island tortoise. (according to the punnett squares…)
What an incredibly idiotic article. You know, some of us are actually interested in facts and this is nothing but dribble written by someone who seems to have the maturity of a horny teenager. This isn’t funny. It’s sad that you think this animal being the last on Earth is somehow an open door for you to make fun of.
omg so cute i just want to cry
