Durbanites come out to celebrate admiral’s 120th birthday
Durbanites and visitors came in numbers at the Mitchell Park Zoo to celebrate Durban’s living legend and the country’s oldest tortoise Admiral, who was turning 120. The zoo was filled with various activities, in celebration of this significant milestone and to honour the much-loved tortoise, as part of Heritage Day. Admiral has witnessed many historic events, from world wars to the rise and fall of apartheid and has met different presidents and iconic people such as Dr Nelson Mandela, Queen Elizabeth and many royalties and other prominent figures. With such momentous history, Admiral was worth such birthday celebration to mark his many decades.
