Ecuador confirmed Tuesday, after DNA analyzes, that the giant tortoise discovered in 2019 in the Galapagos archipelago does indeed belong to a species that experts have believed to be extinct for more than a century.
“
It was believed to be extinct for over 100 years! We have confirmed its existence. The tortoise of the species Chelonoidis phantasticus was discovered in #Galapagos“, tweeted the Minister of the Environment, Gustavo Marique.
In order to precisely determine its species, a team of geneticists from the American University of Yale compared the DNA of this female turtle found on Fernandina Island with that of a male, the last to have been recorded in the Galapagos in 1906. This specimen is now a museum piece and belongs to the California Academy of Sciences.
