After 115 years of 'marriage' turtle couple calls it quits



If there was ever such a thing as a turtle divorce, this would be it.

Two giant turtles, who had been together for 115 years at an Austrian zoo, have called it quits, zoo offiicials say. The first sign of trouble came when the female bit off part of her male partner's shell.

No word on what started the rift, but the "marriage" between Bibi and Poldi was the oldest on zoo record.
