Fernandina tortoise, presumed to be extinct, spotted for the first time in over a century

LIMA: A Fernandina giant tortoise, presumed to be extinct since 1906, has been finally spotted.



Chelonoidis Phantasticus - an adult female member of species of tortoise - was hiding in the brush of a volcano in the Galapagos Islands and was identified by the look of her shell and face.



The tortoise was discovered during a joint expedition of the Galapagos National Park and the US-based Galapagos Conservancy.
