A tortoise that once belonged to British colonial general Clive of India in the 18th Century has died in a zoo in Calcutta.
Adwaita, "the only one" in Bengali, was found dead by keepers in Alipore Zoo on Wednesday. His shell cracked some months ago and a wound had developed.
West Bengal officials said records showed Adwaita was at least 150 years old but other evidence pointed to 250.
