Genetics confirmed that the type of Galapagos turtles from the island of Fernandin still exists
The DNA study confirmed that the female of the Galapagos turtle, found in 2019 on the island of Fernandin, is genetically close to the only well -known specimeum of turtles from this island, discovered in 1906, and differs from turtles from other islands of the Galapagos archipelago. Thus, it was confirmed that Fernandins turtles are an independent appearance, and at the same time it was found that this species did not extract, but still exists, however, in a single copy.
