This is great ... but are there more?

 

I read about the "rediscovery" of a Galapagueñian tortoise species that had been thought extinct for over 100 years.  There are lots of articles about this, so here's one.  This includes a link to the scientific article confirming the identification.

‘Fantastic giant tortoise,’ believed extinct, confirmed alive in the Galápagos

Now, if you don't know the Galapagos (and I don't know them well at all), Fernandina is the basically round island to the west of the largest island, Isabela, shaped like a reversed L.   If you look at it with a satellite view, it's basically all lava flows, and barely vegetated.  Not an easy island to explore;  but if the tortoises have to eat something, there isn't a lot of vegetated area, either.

So here's the problem;  the tortoise they found, named Fernanda, is the only one they found.  It's female, not sure how old (or how fertile) - what they'd really like to find is a male, and a fertile one, too, to try and get them to breed.  So searching barren Fernandina becomes something they want to do.  But it's not easy, at all.

So, good luck, Fernanda.  Hope they find a guy for you.
