Harriet the Tortoise dies at 175 or 176

Harriet the tortoise, one of the world's oldest known living creatures, has died in Australia aged about 175.

Senior vet Dr John Hangar told Australia's ABC that Harriet, a Giant Galapagos tortoise, had died of heart failure after a short illness.

Some people believe that Harriet was studied by British naturalist Charles Darwin.
