Harriet, the tortoise, lived for 176 years. She lived at the Brisbane-area zoo in Australia for 18 years. Legend indicates that Charles Darwin carried her away during his visit to the Galapagos Islands in 1835.
Zoo staff marked her birthdays with a pink hibiscus flower cake.
Zoo officials said Harriet showed no sign of physical decline before the heart attack that ended her life.
She benefitted from a strict fitness regimen. In the morning, she went outside and warmed up. When she had enough sun, she retreated to the shade.
With Harriet as inspiration, consider:
In what ways can your future benefit from the past?
Is there a gift or behavior from an ancestor you have not yet claimed?
What can you do to remain in good health into advanced age?
