Giant tortoises make a comeback!


39 giant tortoises are going to be re released on Pinta island where it hasn't been seen since 1972.

According to officials of the Galapagos National Park, the endangered species are being relocation as part of a long-term plan to restore the original ecosystem of the island.

The volcanic island is also home to a 90 year old tortoise called Lonesome George, believed to be the last of his kind.
