 So apparently there was a tortoise named Addwaita who has lived in a zoo in India for the last ~131 years or so. The zoo was founded in 1875 and the tortoise started living there then. The info for the photo states that the tortoise was around 250 years old and just recently died from liver failure. He was believed be to the oldest living tortoise according to the information with the photo. Aren't tortoises suppost to be one of the oldest living creatures (reptiles?). This guy outlived all the zookeepers over a 131 year period though so I guess the tortoise really does beat the rabbit in the end.
Head over and check out the full sized photo of this ~250 year old tortoise. Source: Yahoo

It's a sad day in ninja land because Pat Morita AKA Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid movies bit the big dog today at the age of 73. Mr. Miyago is the guy that brought us "Wax On Wax Off". The article goes on to say Pat Morita received a Hollywood Boulevard Walk Of Fame star in 1994. RIP.
