Lonesome George has died on June 24, 2012 of old age.
Lonesome George has died on June 24, 2012 of old age. He was believed to be more than 100 years old, the last Pinta Island giant tortoise, a subspecies of Galápagos tortoise.  He left no children, being a habitual abstainer, even resisting charms of a beautiful 26-year-old Swiss zoologist Sveva Grigioni, smeared with tortoise hormones [1], giving him "sexual stimulation" for 4 months, and Ménage à trois with 2 hot tortoises. Maybe he was gay. RIP.

[1] Should have tried pheromones
