you went to the galapagos islands or the charles darwin reaserch station?

if lonesome george is the last of his subspecies, why don’t they just breed him with a female galapagos tortoise and maybe have a half galapagos half Pinta Island Tortoise?

I went to the galapagos and the research station.

They want to breed lonesome george but he isn’t cooperating. They are DNA testing every female for the closest genetics possible.

They said that cloning is a LAST LAST LAST resort since they would all be males anyway.

Not sure about the test tube torts lol.
