Oh, that's terrible.
At least he was taken care of and humans did all they could to help preserve the species.
If you want any of my avatars, just Pm me I'd truly appreciate any avatar of a reptile sleeping in a Nice Hat Read Elmer Kelton booksYeah...
They're going to check his body to see how he died, but the director of the park thinks it was due to natural causes.

Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Too bad they couldn't find a female of his subspecies...
If you want any of my avatars, just Pm me I'd truly appreciate any avatar of a reptile sleeping in a Nice Hat Read Elmer Kelton booksYeah that sucks...
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.D: George...
This sucks. This really sucks.
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.Suddenly the "Lonesome George is not alone anymore!" line from Golden Sun: The Lost Age has a depressing new meaning to it.
So. Let's all pause for a moment to smell what the Rock was, is, and forever will be... cooking.—Cave JohnsonOh man, I didn't even remember there was a character in that game named that!!

They tried so hard to mate him, but none of the eggs ever hatched.
There might still be a couple in incubation that might hatch, but it's a long shot...
If you want any of my avatars, just Pm me I'd truly appreciate any avatar of a reptile sleeping in a Nice Hat Read Elmer Kelton booksLet's hope so, kid.
Let's hope so.
If you want any of my avatars, just Pm me I'd truly appreciate any avatar of a reptile sleeping in a Nice Hat Read Elmer Kelton booksOh yay!
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.QUICK CLONE HIM.
ᐅᖃᐅᓯᖅ ᐊᑕᐅᓯᖅ ᓈᒻᒪᔪᐃᑦᑐᖅAny word on how old he is yet? I know we had no idea of his age when we found him; but maybe he has some 19th century steamy poetry hidden under his shell from his teenage years?
Aw, such a shame. And I had just made this.
(Tortoise depicted is not Lonesome George, but still)
Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...It's believed he was around 100 (or more).

Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Rest in Peace, Lonesome George.
I'm pretty sure we have enough of his DNA to clone him, but without a female the subspecies is Lost Forever.
If you want any of my avatars, just Pm me I'd truly appreciate any avatar of a reptile sleeping in a Nice Hat Read Elmer Kelton booksYup.
There's still some hope that some might still exist somewhere though, but it still sucks.
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.My aunt Gail was able to see him on a trip to Ecuador. Now he's dead :(.
RIP George
I don’t even know anymore.
Has died. So now the subspecies is probably extinct.
:(
