The Fernandina Island Fantastic Giant Galapagos tortoise, previously thought extinct, is… not!! Genome sequencing confirms that there are two known surviving animals.

Update on Oscar: The vet team said he did pretty well today but was still very sleepy. According to the resident, “He just hung out with us and napped a lot!” 😆 Not surprising since his body is still recovering from the surgery and whole ordeal of the giant stone. He finished day one of two of his fluid treatments, receiving sub-q fluids under his skin. He is urinating but still not defecating, which is important for him to do soon to get his system restarted since the obstruction is now gone. They made him a nice salad, but he still won’t eat, so tomorrow they will sedate him again to place a feeding tube. Once stable in another day or two, he will hopefully be able to come home with the feeding tube in so we can easily administer medication and make sure he’s getting the nutrients he needs while his body recovers. Unlike a bird or mammal, it is nearly impossible to get medication orally into a tortoise who refuses since they can basically lock their jaws and pull their heads in! Thank you to all who have donated toward Oscar’s emergency visit over the weekend and his hospitalization, surgery, and medicine this week at UCD. We also appreciate all the kind messages and everyone who has been checking in on him. He sure is loved! #sulcata #sulcatatortoise #tortoisesofinstagram #vetmed #exoticvet #veterinarymedicine #reptilemedicine #chelonian #cutie #littlemuffin #oscar (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClnVXaMuNRF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
