I wonder if they can use his DNA to regenerate the species?

Henry Nicholl's book "Lonesome George, the life and loves of a conservation icon" *has a very detaliled chapter on the hurdles preventing cloning. Worth a read.

It was very sad news, it had been my dream to visit George in the Galapagos but it wasn't to be. I was so sad that I wrote a blog about it: http://tortoisesoup.wordpress.com/20...te-to-my-hero/
Sleep sweetly, George
