This tortoise was given as a gift from Britain to India in 1767,and lived a very long life!!!I found it interesting,thought someone else might too. http://www.comcast.net/news/science/index.jsp?cat=SCIENCE&fn=/2006/03/24/3 52659.html&cvqh=itn_turtle

Wow, that's pretty amazing alright. I wonder if scientists will try to find a link in his genes for the longevity. Thanks for the article.
