Old-ass turtle

From the Cellar's IOTD on Friday:

"As your humble correspondent celebrated a birthday yesterday, so this Galopagos Land Tortoise named Harriet, three days ago at the Australia Zoo. Harriet is felt by some to be the oldest living being on the earth".

Born in 1830.


Pretty cool in my book.
