I was sad to hear about that. I remember reading about the turtle's 175th birthday. At the time, they said they were unsure about the age and the turtle could actually be over 200 years old.
Can you imagine living that long? I don't think the turtle would actually remember that far back though. Turtles probably don't have that much long term memory. It's a pity. It would be fascinating to remember what it was like 175 years ago.
