Giant Tortoises on Pinta Island
Do you recall George, the iconic giant tortoise from the majestic Galapagos Islands? His story has always captivated me. This remarkable creature, who graced the Earth for an impressive century, passed away in 2012, leaving behind a legacy shrouded in both intrigue and significance. George was not just any tortoise; he was the last known member of the Pinta Island tortoise species, a living testament to the delicate balance of nature and the stories it harbours.
