  It’s not certain this is true, but it’s somewhat likely. At least, that’s what I’m getting from the Wikipedia article.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_(tortoise)

  She was not kept as a pet by Darwin, but she may have been collected by him on a journey, then kept at a museum(?)

  Sounds more like they were her pets.

    It’s so sad that she always outlives her pets

  After Darwin owned the tortoise, it had to be sent away to animal prison. She was too much of a hard case

    It seems like a joke, but she really was cold-blooded.

      I told my dog these jokes and she said, “that’s scute.”

  I finally realized that Kristoff from Frozen reminds me of Steve Erwin. Like so much. So upset now that he doesn’t have an aussie accent.

    Tortoise. Turtles are aquatic and have flippers. Terrapins have webbed claws and are active on both land and water. Tortoise only live on land and they have feet with blunt nails.

      If the order Testudines refers to turtles then all tortoises are turtles (though not all turtles are tortoises).

  Just today I have again started to listen the book “Ageless” by Andrew Steele, which mentioned this tortoise at the very beginning. BTW, a great book about the real science how we can practically stop aging and dying from it.
