The famed Galapagos giant tortoise named Diego -- estimated at over 100 years old -- fathered 40 percent of all tortoises on Espanola Island in the Galapagos and is officially retiring.

He is credited with saving his species from extinction thanks to his high sex drive, according to a release by the Giant Tortoise Restoration Initiative and translated by the Galapagos Conservancy.
