THE LAST OF HIS KIND. Lonesome George lived a life filled with loneliness and fame. He was the last Pinta Island Tortoise known to man. The Galapagos Islands are a fascinating corner of the world where animals thrived for thousands of years (before us humans came along). Lonesome George became a symbol of conservation and perseverance! We dive deep into his life, his species, the history of the Galapagos, as well as how the great people at the American Museum of Natural History were able to immortalize him forever!
