According to the United Press International, Clive’s tortoise recently passed at the ripe age of 225. Historically speaking, Clive’s tortoise was a gift given to Robert Clive [dubbed the 'Conqueror if India'] by British sailors in the 1700’s.

To give an idea of just how old this tortoise was, during the 1700’s, people used to make statements using Tea. Look how far we’ve come.
