Lonesome George (A Musical Memorial)

Lonesome George was the last Pinta Island tortoise in the world. George died in 2012 at the age of 100-and-something, after quite a few unsuccessful attempts to breed him with other subspecies of Galapagos tortoises. He was recently stuffed. This fitting musical tribute to Lonesome George comes from NPR's Skunk Bear. I’d like to think that Lonesome George is cavorting with lovely female Pinta Island tortoises on that big island in the sky. (via Metafilter)
