Finally, lets spare a thought for “Lonesome George”, a tortoise for whom “Friends Reunited” and”Match. Com” is not an option. Lonesome George, a giant Galapagos tortoise became somewhat of a conservation icon when it was found that he was the sole survivor of his species. However, scientists have found another living example on the Isabella Island in the Pacific. Lonesome was last seen having his teeth whitened, his hair cut and then a general make over in anticipation of a somewhat long overdue bout of tortoise one on one. However, George’s dreams were shattered when scientists found that the new discovery was in fact also male. Born in the 1920’s, George has waited 87 years for a liaison with the opposite sex, only to find that the “opposite” was the same as him. Poor old Lonesome has had to return to his previous job of racing hairs!
