No More Turtle Love: 115 Years Is Long Enough For Turtles
No More Turtle Love: 115 Years Is Long Enough For Turtles
Two turtles at an Austrian Zoo, who have reportedly been together for 115 years, have called it quits. The Austrian Times report the two turtles won't cage together any longer.
Zoo boss Helga Happ said: "We get the feeling they can't stand the sight of each other anymore."
Bibi and Poldi have been a pair since before anyone alive today can remember – they have been together at the Austrian zoo in Klagenfurt for 36 years and before that they lived at Basel zoo in Switzerland.
Zoo boss Helga added: "They are both 115 years old – they have been together since they were young and grew up together, eventually becoming a pair.
"But for no reason that anyone can discover they seem to have fallen out, they just can't stand each other."
Zoo staff realised the pair had fallen out after Bibi attacked her partner – biting off a chunk of his shell – and then carrying out several further attacks until he was moved to another enclosure.
The turtles were even fed aphrodisiacs and animal experts tried to get them to play together to no avail. All in all, the zoo is still hopeful that they will eventually bond again.
