Diego is a giant tortoise from Hood Island (= Española Island). He was used to restock a Galapagos island with more giant tortoises.

It is likely he was hatched on Hood in the Galápagos before 1920.[1][2] He was captured as a young adult and sent to the United States to be shown at zoos.[1][2] By the late 1940s he was at San Diego Zoo in California. A captive breeding effort was set up in 1976 for the Hood Island tortoises.

At the time only 15 were known to be alive.[1][2] Diego was sent to Santa Cruz Island to join the project.[1][2] Diego had more than 900 offspring who were released on Española.[1][2] These helped increase the number in the wild to more than 2,000. The breeding project ended in January 2020.[1] Diego was then released into the wild in June 2020.[3]
