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.

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(?)
