I've been suspicious of some of the very small species that I've heard recently that are claimed to need protecting; there seems to be no appreciable difference between them and a much large species nearby.<br />I read recently about a 'species' of turtle in the Galapagos Islands that was thought to be extinct for over a 100 years, until one was found alive last year. It turns out that only ONE animal had previously been found, dead, in 1906, and that one animal was observed in 2018. They appear to be assuming that the turtles on one island are a distinct species from the turtles on a neighboring island, ignoring the fact that the turtles can and do swim between islands...Jonathan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476185257203343474noreply@blogger.com
