Day 53: lonesome George

I was showing my mom how to make a blog post, and I uploaded this picture of lonesome George as an example. So here is the story of lonesome George.

Lonesome George was a Galapagos tortoise, a tremendously long lived tortoise. As a youth he witnessed the devastation of the island greenery when sailors let their goats onto the island to graze. As he grew older he watched all the other tortoises die of starvation or old age.  When he was the last of his kind conservationists found him and kept him in a sanctuary. During that time they tried unsuccessfully to mate him with other similar tortoises. He lived many decades in tortoise decadence with all the lettuce and grapes he could eat, but he would never find love. He died alone taking his whole species with him.
