250 year old tortoise dies: A giant aldabra tortoise thought to be around 250 years old has died in the Kolkata zoo of liver failure. Historical records show he was a pet of British general Robert Clive of the East India Company and had spent several years in his sprawling estate before he was brought to the zoo about 130 years ago. posted by Kaushik at 10:09 PM Comment (0)
