Diego, the giant tortoise finally retires

He fathered at least 800 babies, almost single-handedly saving his species. Diego the giant tortoise has just been released on his native island after 80 years spent in captivity. This is his story.

After 80 years in Captivity will the old tortoise have the skills to survive upon release?

If 40% of them were gathered by the same tortoise, wouldn’t there be a huge percentage of inbreeding, and a further risk to the species?
