Speaker Michael Martin - Update

World's oldest living animal discovered after he is pictured in 1900 photograph - Telegraph
Despite his old age, locals say he still has the energy to regularly mate with the three younger females.
A spokesman said: "He is the sole survivor of three tortoises that arrived in 1882.
"He was already mature when he arrived and was at least 50-years-old.
"He lives in the grounds of Plantation House which is the governor's residence with five other tortoises who are much younger than him.
"Apparently he remained nameless until he was named by Governor Sir Spencer Davis in the 1930s.
"He feeds on the grass of the main paddock.
"He is still very active despite his age and adores attention, he is a real poser.
"He seems to be sightless in one eye, but does not let that slow him down."
