Adwaita

Weighing 250 kg (551 lb), Adwaita was a solitary animal with no records of his progeny. He lived on a diet of wheat bran, carrots, lettuce, soaked gram (chickpea), bread, grass and salt. ==Age==

His shell cracked in late 2005, and a wound developed in the flesh underneath the crack. The wound became infected and eventually led to his death from liver failure on 22 March 2006. Adwaita is claimed to have been 255 years old at the time of his death, although this claim is unsubstantiated. If Adwaita's claimed age were true, he would be the oldest known tortoise, outliving Harriet by 80 years, Tu'i Malila by 67 years, and making him 63 years older than the current record holder Jonathan. ==References==
