Default $10,000 reward to anyone who can find a female for Lonesome George

Found this !

There’s a $10,000 reward to anyone who can find a female for Lonesome George the turtle!
Lonesome George is the name of the last known tortoise of a certain species from the Galapagos Islands. He was found in 1971 on Pinta Island by goat hunters. George was penned with several females of a related subspecies of tortoise, but never successfully reproduced and carried on his genes.

He is thought to be between 70-80 years old and could live to be 100-150 years old. He is in good health and it’s possible that other tortoises of his subspecies, like a sibling or distant cousin, are out there, though none have been found. There is a $10,000 offer to anyone who can bring a female of his subspecies to reproduce with him.
