In Australia I met Harriet, the Galapagos tortoise. She was outside in a large grass enclosure. I was expecting slowness, but she was quick on her feet and her eyes were bright. A few strands of grass stuck out of her mouth. Charles Darwin collected her as a baby in 1835, took her to England on the Beagle, and then a friend moved her to warmer Australia in 1842. She stayed at several zoos. Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, gave her a home in his zoo where she lived to the ripe old age of 175 years.
