It looks like one of the world’s oldest animal marriages is coming to an end. Orange News reports an Austrian zoo’s giant turtle couple has reached the point where they can no longer share the same enclosure. Bibi and Poldi are both 115 years old, and have been living together for the past 36 years. But recently Bibi, the female, started attacking Poldi and even bit a chunk out of his shell. Zoo management says no one has been able to discover what led to the falling out, and all attempts by experts to rekindle the spark have failed. They are still hoping for a reconciliation, although Poldi has been moved to a separate enclosure for his safety.
