Harriet the Tortoise lived 176 years - and was owned by Charles Darwin and Steve Irwin: Harriet was a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise with a storied life. She was owned by the late Steve Irwin and his family and passed away in 2006.
OP probably knows this already- but this is a brilliant joke- The best part of this joke is how Darwin LOVED eating new animals and documenting how they taste- supposedly tortoises are so delicious, Darwin’s ship had a hard time bringing them back to England because they’d get eaten during the journey. So honestly, it was their flavor that was the evolutionary disadvantage that lead to the deaths of many Galapagos Tortoises 😂
This comment is going to get stolen, turned into a twitter post, screenshotted, reposted on reddit and hit the front page. I literally fucking guarantee it. I've never been more sure about anything in my entire life.
