+Audrey Carriere Lonesome George always makes me remember one particular wise GiantTurtle. Try to guess: "My time has come. You must continue your journey without me." "You must believe."
I'm Ecuadorian like Lonesome George was, I got to see him in person in Galapagos. I remember seeing the efforts of the people and scientists to try to save him and his species. I'll miss him.
Thanks for the song. I got to see him on display in NYC and I'm currently working to get a kids book about him, where he is the hero. I like the fact that in your song he met his lady in the sky.
RU-vid recommended this vid after 6 years. Once again God bless you George, hope you reunited with your species. I hope to finally meet you on the flip side
I also saw George in the Galapagos before he died. I had forgotten how tall he was, but that he was. He seemed older than his age (80s) and he definitely looked lonely, like he could feel the weight of being the last of his kind.
I'm watching this in 2022 and i'm crying i can't believe his whole subspiecies died . My grandmother allways told me humans are the most cruel animals in the world 😭😭
“A group of 30 new hybrid tortoises were found on the Galápagos Islands and are thought to be descendants to the pinta island tortoise species.” One of the hybrid tortoises: this is for you George.
They were going to, but the Ecuadorean government got into arguement with the local authorities of the Galapagos over where to house his body. The government wanted him in the capital, while the local authorities in the Galapagos wanted him back on his home island. The issue was never resolved, and so with no destination to send him to, George remains at the museum. That's politics for you!
I also cried the time knowing very sad end of poor George life n his very poor biotypes. 16 people who disliked this teary tragedy are truly with lack of heart. 😢😢😢 😖🙏🏻 extinction is really very hard to bear 😢 Lovely George will be missed forever..
