After two years, a team from Ecuador s Ministry of the Environment and Water and the Galapagos Conservancy organization found an adult female giant tortoise on Fernandina Island, the third-largest island of the Galápagos Islands.  A team of researchers at Yale University compared the DNA of the tortoise with another specimen extracted in 1906.
