Time to shell-ebrate! World's oldest living pet Tommy the tortoise marks her 121st birthday after living through six monarchs and two world wars
She has survived two world wars, six different monarchs and 21 US Presidents.
Tommy the female Hermann’s tortoise, owned by Sheila Floris from Guildford, Surrey, has celebrated her 121st birthday and with it has become the world’s oldest living pet.
Born in 1898, Tommy has been in Sheila’s family since 1909 when her grandmother Margaret Cloonan bought her for £1 - when the tortoise was already 11-years-old.
Tommy has lived with Sheila, 62, since she was a child, and the property developer claims to have never once taken her to the vet, and that her faithful tortoise is still in perfect health despite her age.
