It is a species of Giant tortoise. There is only one known Pinta tortoise left in exsistense, he is known as 'lonley george', he weighs approximately 90 kilograms and measures over 100 centimeters across his carapace. His exact age is unknown, but is predicted to be between 60 and 90 years. When "Lonesome George" eventually dies, his species will probably end with him. He will join the other species of giant tortoises that have become extinct in Galapagos.

How many pinta island tortoise are left?
If you're question refers to how many tortoises remained on Pinta Island in the Galapagos Archipelago, there is no exact answer. Because of the depletion of the population by whalers in the late 19th century, the subspecies known as the Pinta Tortoise was essentially considered extinct by the mid-twentieth century. Shortly thereafter, in the late 1950's, goats were introduced to the island which resulted in a terrible destruction of natural habitat. Renewed efforts to eradicate the goat population proved successful in the late 1990's and much of Pinta Island is being restored to it's natural state. As part of this, genetic testing is being done on tortoise populations on nearby islands to identify subspecies that are closely related to the original inhabitants and establish a new population on the island. The last know member of the original Pinta Tortoise subspecies, named Lonesome George, was discovered on the island in 1972 and lived in captivity until his death in 2012. During the last years of his life, all efforts to breed Lonesome George failed to produce any viable offspring.
