 This relationship is attributable to dispersal by the strong local current from San Cristóbal towards Pinta.This discovery informed further attempts to preserve the "C. abingdonii" lineage and the search for an appropriate mate for Lonesome George, which had been penned with females from Isabela.Hope was bolstered by the discovery of a "C. abingdonii" hybrid male in the Volcán Wolf population on northern Isabela, raising the possibility that more undiscovered living Pinta descendants exist.
