A giant tortoise considered extinct a hundred years ago has been discovered very much alive and is currently living in Ecuador.

Two years ago, the tortoise was found on Fernandina Island, one of the youngest and most pristine in the archipelago, during a joint expedition between the Galapagos National Park and the Galapagos Conservancy.
