i really wanted to cuddle with them
kind of creepy no?
we went to los tuneles.. these were naturally formed by lava. i had no idea they'd be this huge
lonesome George! he looked pretty depressed
that's the latest female of a sister species they stuck in with him. She doesn't look too happy either. There are many theories why he won't mate with anyone--he's gay, or no sperm... or i was thinking that since he's pretty young in giant turtle terms he's just holding out until right before he dies. He likes the attention, so he's going to make us all anxious that the Pinta Isla species will go extinct.. then bam he's gonna do it
off to Bartolome
it was a very long boat ride. we left when it was still dark
our guide literally took my camera out of my hand and put the volcanic rock in my arms. "un foto de la chica fuertee!" (the rock is really light)
