There is even a new species of tortoise that was announced as the book was going to press, although it’s been identified from fossil remains and is apparently no longer with us. Where once there were 13 species of “Darwin’s finches,” there are now 17. There are changes in where to find the birds.

The latest example is an extinct Galapagos tortoise species. Bringing back extinct species. Scientists keep saying they can do it. Should they? I just don't feel it's right, as great as it would be to correct the mistakes we've made. It cheapens life and makes the original seem replaceable. Mass-production of blue dodos?

Although Cocos Island is halfway between Costa Rica and the Galapagos, we are still talking about hundreds of kilometers of ocean between us and the place of the big tortoises. Really, there’s not much connection but thanks to the wandering ways of seabirds, Costa Rica does boast some loose links to that bucket list archipelago.

However, this is not the case with the Galapagos Tortoises. Some of the tortoises have shells and necks and heads configured for picking leaves off of bushes (involving a lot of reaching upwards) while others have shells, necks and heads that go more with grazing off the surface. In their habits I cannot point out a single difference.
