Wow. That's sad and really too bad. When are we going to learn we have to take better care of this planet and all of it's inhabitants?

the article i read said he was taken care of by mankind

so....good karma on its way, if you believe in such a thing
Only because, ya' know, mankind killed all the rest of them.

Guess I was lucky that I saw him last year.
Did u see him on your Galapagos trip BV?
I thought the whole Darwin research center was kind of a disapointment....
We saw him, though not a great view - he was off in the trees.

The Darwin Research Center was okay. I agree it wasn't really that spectacular. I liked seeing the tortoise facilities, mostly to see the young ones - but it was far more enjoyable to see the big ones in the wild.
