00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:05.990 align:middle line:84%
Do anyone know who
Lonesome George is?

00:00:05.990 --> 00:00:08.080 align:middle line:90%
George Gobel.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:08.650 align:middle line:90%
George.

00:00:08.650 --> 00:00:09.460 align:middle line:90%
Gobel.

00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:11.575 align:middle line:90%
Gobel, the tortoise?

00:00:11.575 --> 00:00:12.790 align:middle line:90%
The torotoise.

00:00:12.790 --> 00:00:14.740 align:middle line:90%
Lonesome George.

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:18.370 align:middle line:84%
The Galapagos tortoise
named George who's been--

00:00:18.370 --> 00:00:22.252 align:middle line:84%
who's the last representative
of his species and biologists

00:00:22.252 --> 00:00:23.710 align:middle line:84%
have been trying
to get him to mate

00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:27.640 align:middle line:84%
with another tortoise
from an allied species

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:28.960 align:middle line:90%
and not having much success.

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.520 align:middle line:90%
He's over 100 years old.

00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:34.840 align:middle line:84%
And they even hired a Swiss
sex therapist to sort of work

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.110 align:middle line:84%
with him for a few years and
he was a little apathetic

00:00:38.110 --> 00:00:40.030 align:middle line:84%
but they finally
got him excited.

00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:43.210 align:middle line:84%
And last year a clutch of
eggs were produced which

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:45.220 align:middle line:90%
didn't unfortunately hatch.

00:00:45.220 --> 00:00:47.650 align:middle line:84%
This year another clutch was
produced but I don't know--

00:00:47.650 --> 00:00:48.692 align:middle line:90%
I haven't heard any news.

00:00:48.692 --> 00:00:49.630 align:middle line:90%
I don't know.

00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:51.640 align:middle line:84%
Does anyone know
what's happened?

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:52.180 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:52.180 --> 00:00:55.930 align:middle line:84%
So this is called
"Lonesome George".

00:00:55.930 --> 00:00:59.620 align:middle line:84%
Five years with a
Swiss sex therapist.

00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:01.600 align:middle line:90%
Too young.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.959 align:middle line:84%
George waited to do
it his way, incubating

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:09.340 align:middle line:84%
while the world watches
another clutch of five eggs.

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:13.150 align:middle line:84%
Let's not all go hold
our breath all at once.

00:01:13.150 --> 00:01:16.960 align:middle line:84%
You see George
feels sorry for us.

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:19.990 align:middle line:84%
He wants to show
us he really cares.

00:01:19.990 --> 00:01:24.780 align:middle line:84%
Filling his ears he's making
peace with these idiots.

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:26.000 align:middle line:90%
