The Tu'i Malila

The Tu'u Malila is a radiated tortoise from Madagascar given to the Tongan Royal family as a pet by Captain Cook in the late 1700's. It lived continuously with the Royal family until it died in the 1960's, at an age of almost 200 years! It is now preserved and on display in the Tongan National Center.
