Harriet lived in the zoo in Brisbane, and died of a heart attack. She
was a Galapagos tortoise, and was the oldest known living animal.
When she was hatched on Galapagos, William IV was still King of
England, and Andrew Jackson was President of the United States.

She made the news in Britain, too.
