Pinta Island also known as Adingdon Island is and Island located in Ecuador.
This Island is home to many animals including swallow-tailed gulls, marine iguanas, sparrow hawks, fur seals and the a giant tortoise named Lonesome George. (Geochelone elephantopus abingdoni).
George is the rarest animal in the world and when he dies the Pinta Island Tortoise will be extinct.
Scientists have been trying to breed the animal with other tortoise with good success.
They mate and lay eggs and for the first few years they're transferred to incubating boxes so not
to be damaged.
The baby tortoises are kept in captivity for five years then they are taken back to Pinta Island to be released.
