"The bat-bone's connected to the kneebone..."

Not after they were divorced.

was george really the last of his kind ?

i know it's sad and possibly a bit too soon .... but i remember hearing QI once where they were talking about these critters, the first explorers to get to the galapagos wanted to bring some tortoises back for zoo's / private collections etc ... but the things just tasted so damn nice that very few actually survived the journey back to Europe
oh if only they could be made aware the above they might have suffered a bit more and gone hungry for the survival of the breed

so long farewell auwiedersehen goodbye

Lonely George was a subspecies, indigenous to one particular island, Pinta. There is a chance that a specimen might turn up, but George has been lonely for a long while and no other Pinta Island Tortoise has turned up.

I've always had a guilty desire to eat tortoise, just to see if it's as yummy as they say.
