Do anyone know who Lonesome George is?
George Gobel.
George.
Gobel.
Gobel, the tortoise?
The torotoise.
Lonesome George.
The Galapagos tortoise named George who's been--
who's the last representative of his species and biologists
have been trying to get him to mate
with another tortoise from an allied species
and not having much success.
He's over 100 years old.
And they even hired a Swiss sex therapist to sort of work
with him for a few years and he was a little apathetic
but they finally got him excited.
And last year a clutch of eggs were produced which
didn't unfortunately hatch.
This year another clutch was produced but I don't know--
I haven't heard any news.
I don't know.
Does anyone know what's happened?
OK.
So this is called "Lonesome George".
Five years with a Swiss sex therapist.
Too young.
George waited to do it his way, incubating
while the world watches another clutch of five eggs.
Let's not all go hold our breath all at once.
You see George feels sorry for us.
He wants to show us he really cares.
Filling his ears he's making peace with these idiots.
