He’s anywhere from 60-90 years old! (And he’s a Galapagos tortoise. Possibly the last one of his kind.)
Conservationists have tried a variety of methods to get the tortoise to mate, including artificial insemination, manual stimulation and having George watch younger males mate. George, who is believed to be between 60 and 90 years old, should still be in his sexual prime.
