On Friday 4th May 2012 we did some research on the Pinto island giant tortoise and worked out how the tortoise is nearly extinct [there is only one left called lonesome George] . In the 17/1800s Pinto island was full of giant tortises. Then sailers came. After a while the sailers came back and brought goats! they ate the tortoises food . Then they brought dogs to herd the goats and the dogs ate tortoises but something far worse came from the boats RATS!! They ate all the tortoise eggs and none could hatch in time. lonesome George was the only surviver. . .
