Spurred by our 2004 meeting, biologists recently reintroduced Bolson tortoises to a private ranch in New Mexico. 受到我們2004年會議的鼓舞，生物學(xué)家最近在美國新墨西哥州的私有地再引回墨西哥象龜。
Bolson tortoises, some weighing more than 100 pounds, once grazed parts of the southwestern U.S. before disappearing around 10,000 years ago, victims of human hunting. 有些墨西哥象龜重達(dá)45公斤，曾在美國西南部吃草生活，后來約在一萬年前消失無蹤，是人類狩獵的犧牲品。
