That is so cool, but I only got the photo of Harriet (absolutely marvelous, wouldn't you just love to have a tortoise that old?), and the most interesting aspect is that she doesn't look "old" really at all. She just looks like a Galapagos. :D

Then I linked to the photo of the Radiated, which also looked like a mature but not necessarily "old" tortoise. However, the link to the Greek spur-thigh pulled up what looked like a generic Greek baby shot, so now I'm left wondering which photos were of the actual record-breaking aged tortoises. :(

Still, a very neat article about these long-lived creatures.

thanx guys! What shocked me the most was the quahog and the koi. Anything that lives longer than you, your children, and you childrens children is pretty amazing. I calculated this out and found a quahog could live for 5.8 human generations, given that each generation stopped at 70 and that the quahog lived for 410 years. THAT'S INSANE!!!
