稀有象龜辭世終年100歲

Lonesome George, believed to be the last of the Pinta giant tortoises, a sub-species of Galapagos tortoise, died in the Galapagos Islands, the Daily Mail reported.

據英國《每日郵報》報道，“孤獨的喬治”在加拉帕戈斯羣島辭世。喬治是它所屬加拉帕戈斯象龜的亞種——平塔巨龜的最後一隻。

He was thought to be about 100 and had become an ambassador of sorts for the islands off the coast of Ecuador whose unique flora and fauna helped inspire Charles Darwin's theories on evolution.
他大約100歲，是厄瓜多爾加拉帕戈斯羣島的象徵，該島稀有的動植物對查爾斯•達爾文提出著名的進化論有很好的啓發作用。

With no offspring and no other known members of his sub-species, he became famous as the world's rarest creature.
喬治沒有生下任何後代，所屬種羣中也沒有任何同類，它因如此稀有而世界聞名。
