Medical mission for Taronga s century-old giant tortoise
She is 104 years old and has not left home since 1947. It may sound like the opening gambit to a court drama, or the premise of an Edgar Allen Poe horror story, but the detail is far more benign.
Esmerelda, Taronga Zoo s Aldabra Giant Tortoise, and its longest staying guest, was in need of a check-up, and the appointment was today. In the last few months, the keepers have noticed some fluid coming out of her nostrils and her mouth, and a bit of a gurgling, breathing sound, says Taronga s senior vet, Dr Larry Vogelnest.
