## Caption

A Fernandina tortoise, presumed to be extinct since 1906, has been FOUND! She was discovered during an expedition for #ExtinctOrAlive by forrest.galante. This rare tortoise was hiding in the brush of a volcano in the Galapagos. She was successfully identified by the look of her shell and face. With one Fernandina tortoise discovered, there’s hope others are out there.
.
Shout out to galapagosconservancy for the teamwork in this discovery!
