@DissonantEevee they're so good Canry!
@Bugaboo That's a huge deal if it's true! Could you drop a link?
@Bugaboo oh wow! I hope they find more!
@Bugaboo To clarify in case other people are reading: this is a specific species of Galopagos tortoise thought to have gone extinct a century ago. While some Galopagos tortoises are still extant, if severely struggling, many species of giant island tortoise- including but not limited to Galopagos tortoise species- went extinct relatively recently due to European sailing ships (hungry sailors, dogs, rats, etc). Finding one of these species alive is a big deal.
@Bugaboo They're cool in their own right, but giant tortoises were also a key part of many island ecosystems and their recovery could impact many other endemic species!
@Bugaboo yes! Прекрасно!
