     LONESOME GEORGE 
     
    
   
   
    
     Consider the plight of Lonesome George, the Pinta Island tortoise 
     
    
   
   
    
     who probably is the world's loneliest creature. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Lonesome George 
     
    
   
   
    
     is the last known member of his subspecies, the last to carry the 
     
    
   
   
    
     traits peculiar to his breed. 
     
    
   
   
    
     particular giant Galapagos Island tortoise. 
     
    
   
   
    
     And Lonesome George is expected to live another century!
