Madagascar: #GiantTortoises have returned 600 years after they were wiped out https://theconversation.com/madagascar-giant-tortoises-have-returned-600-years-after-they-were-wiped-out-221615 npub10vk7n70xxgwjxnyjxfypex77mg2lzcsdt5c8jvwpep3a5z7searqmxy6hj (npub10vk…y6hj)
"A six-year-old project to return giant #tortoises to the wild in #Madagascar could result in thousands of the 350kg megaherbivores re-populating the island for the first time in 600 years. The first group of #AldabraGiantTortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) were brought in from the #Seychelles in 2018, and have been reproducing on their own since."
