"Lonesome George" was the last representative of his subspecies, which lived on the Pinta island far in the North of the archipelago.
The Pinta island tortoise has a saddleback carapace, which is typical for Galapagos tortoises in a dry habitat.
Like all saddleback tortoises also the Pinta island tortoise has a long neck.
Today our LOST ZOO is the only zoo worldwide, which keeps today Pinta island tortoises.
