Gus the 104-Year-Old Tortoise Undergoes Successful Surgery in Nova Scotia

Gus, a 104-year-old tortoise, is known as the oldest tortoise in the world and has been an integral part of the Halifax Museum of Natural History for decades. He recently went into surgery to remove a bladder stone, a common health issue among older tortoises. According to officials at the museum, the surgery took place on Tuesday and was deemed successful. Gus is now resting and is expected to recover for approximately eight to ten weeks before he can return to his usual habitat at the museum, where he has delighted visitors and residents alike. His longevity and popularity have made him a beloved figure in the community as well as a subject of interest for animal lovers and researchers worldwide.
