George was rescued from an island in the galapagos when goats(brought in carelessly) had wiped out his species. He was the ONLY survivor found. The goats were exterminated and plant life is returning to normal and now they're working hard to find a suitable mate for George, one of the same species. A $10,000 reward is being offered for anyone that can find George a suitable mate.

@MIIBB im certain the islanders were definitely not native and yes, they are fucking assholes.
-
oh no only one galapagos tortise

@Merlin1surf Actually, I was just there this summer. People aren't allowed in his enclosure. You can see him from a distance, but you can't actually go anywhere close to him. Some of the other tortoises you can go up to, but George and the two females are closed in.

Were the islanders native? Or did they move from somewhere to this island? Cuz if they invaded teh island then the fishermans r the bad guys. And they are then assholes.

@TheSamurai01 He has 2 females in his cage he is the last of his kind.

Give the guy some space I say. Couldn't believe that visitors are allowed to walk right through his enclosure, all day, every day. If all you heard in your ear all the time was 'Gee honey, look it's George', and kids running round shouting, the last thing you'd want to do was procreate the species...
