A giant has vanished from our lives. His name, Lonesome George, and he lived in Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands. He was a giant tortoise and the last of his subspecies known to be alive. With his passing on June 24th, the Government of Ecuador and scientists world wide have made every attempt possible to preserve George’s genetic material to one day possibility reintroducing his subspecies to the world.
WOW had introduced a homage to Lonesome George in Mists of Pandaria. While Wow is no longer our cup of tea, I have to give the team at WOW credit for the beautiful tribute to Lonesome George. If it brings awareness to the plight of giant tortoises to a handful of people, then that is a boon for some of the most fascinating and beautiful creatures on earth.
