250 Year Old Tortoise Dies

This is sad:

A tortoise that once belonged to British colonial general Clive of India in the 18th Century has died in a zoo in Calcutta.

Adwaita, "the only one" in Bengali, was found dead by keepers in Alipore Zoo on Wednesday. His shell cracked some months ago and a wound had developed.

West Bengal officials said records showed Adwaita was at least 150 years old but other evidence pointed to 250.

Adwaita had many careers in his long and eventful life, most recently as a Senator from South Carolina.

[That's all, folks]
