176-Year-Old Tortoise Named Harriet Passes On

I just thought people should know about this.

…but the world still has Raphael, Unibrier and Harper.

I didn’t even know she was sick.

Who/what is now the world’s oldest living creature?

(Blast you Bruce, you beat me to the reply button).

Little quick on the finger this morning. Sorry.

Jay Leno had a good line last night. He brought up the story then asked if anyone knew what she died from.

It was a skydiving accident.

(I guess you had to be there)

:thinking: :o
I don’t get it…

I think you have to be old to get it.

LOL

yeah on TV today they had Steve irwin(the austrailian Zoo guy)almost crying
Harriet was also the pet of Charles Darwin :slight_smile: take that evoloution

i tihink its about time Harriet died. like really 176 years is an extremely long time to live.

in her lifetime she walked the distance of 2 football fields travelling at an average speed of 0.0002 kph.

not really but plausable

looks like we already knew…
