Harriet the tortoise dies
Jun. 23rd, 2006 06:19 pmIt is with deepest regret that I have announce that Harriet the tortoise, the oldest animal in Australia, passed away of a heart attack at the age of 176. She was always my favourite whenever I visited Australia Zoo and I would eagerly go to her enclosure to see how she was going. The staff had hoped that she would live for many more years yet.
