Gramma, San Diego Zoo's Centenarian Tortoise, Passes Away

Gramma, the oldest resident at the San Diego Zoo, a Galapagos tortoise, has passed away after over a century of life. Known for her love of romaine lettuce and cactus fruit, she was a significant part of the zoos history, arriving in the 1930s. Despite witnessing two World Wars and twenty U.S. presidents, she consistently charmed visitors with her sweet and shy personality. Affectionately called the Queen of the Zoo, her passing marks the end of an era for the San Diego Zoo. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
