The 176-year-old, 150-kilogram giant Galapagos tortoise, named Harriet, is believed to have once been studied by famed English naturalist Charles Darwin, has died in Australia after suffering a heart failure.
Harriet, the world's oldest tortoise, (recongnised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest living animal) originally named Harry, was once mistakenly identified as male, not until a rectification was made after more than a century.

Ich habe heute auch von den Medien erfahren das eine Schildkröte 176 jahre alt gestorben ist, habe aber auch in Erinnerung das es auf der Dominikanischen Republik eine Riesenschildkröte geben soll die schon fast 500 Jahre auf dem Buckel hat (männlich) und das verzweifelt auf verschieden Inseln auf Weibchen ausschau gehalten wird. "vergebens" die Rasse wird aussterben !
