So the living tortoises have been classified a different species than the one scientists thought they were. But the species they thought they were are now classified as extinct.

Sounds like a paperwork shift more than a discovery. The turtles abide.

Right. one got jabbed with Moderna, another with Pfizer.
After having high fever and excruciating pain, two new species are born.

... San Cristobal, which is 557 kilometers long, should be given a new name.

No. Editor should have noticed this. San Cristobal is about 55.0 kilometers in length.

Did you flush it down the toilet at the end? Ocean currents could have carried it out to the Galapagos. This famous one might be yours, could have beefed up and gotten bigger after getting off that pet store diet.

There’s already that song, “I gotta Galapegos tortoise species in Kalamazoo.”

Okay, so, that one sucked, at least it was clean for a change.
