Lonesome George
According to Reuters News Service, the only survivor of a certain species of tortoises at the Galapagos Islands is named “Lonesome George”. Biologists who have been studying the tortoise say that although George may live another 100 years, it’s unlikely he will ever mate. The biologists have gone to great lengths to help George along, but say he remains uninterested. Attempts to reenergize George have included having randy young male and female tortoises demonstrate mating for him followed by many attempts to pair him up with a female tortoise.
