Lonesome George

He looks so sad, and its such a sad story. He's the poor chap who's the very last of his particular sub-species from Pinta island. Aged around 90, he is surrounded by scientists supplying him with females of different sub-species, encourging him to do his best. If he doesn't reproduce the sub-species will be extinct. Puts a different spin on "not if you were the last man on earth".
