A giant tortoise celebrated her 94th birthday at Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden on May 15. The zoo shared this video showing Isa the Galapagos tortoise enjoying her own personalized cake. Galapagos tortoises are some of the longest living animals in the world, according to the zoo. The population suffered rapid decline towards extinction, down as low as 3,000 in the 1970s, but conservation efforts have helped the population rise to around 20,000 Galapagos tortoises in the wild, the zoo said.

Gallon of Coca-Cola Anyone? New Zealander Guzzles Down Giant Serving

A New Zealander who specializes in food challenges took on the task of drinking a “gallon” of Coca-Cola, sharing footage of the task to YouTube on December 15. Auckland-based competitive eater and model Nela Zisser can often be found making her way through outrageous food challenges. This time Zisser added three 1.25-liter bottles of coke to a bowl to come to 3.75 liters, just a fraction below the 3.785 liters that make up a gallon. After a lot of careful sipping and plenty of burping though, Zisser finished the challenge in 28 minutes and 25 seconds, describing it as “awful”. Zisser also noted several times throughout that the task had solidified her preference for sugar-free versions of Coca-Cola.  Finishing up the video, Zisser added, “I’m going to go and die right now”. Zisser’s YouTube account chronicles such food feats as wolfing down 10 Burger King Whoppers in 17 minutes, devouring a 1-kg burrito in just under 100 seconds, and consuming a 2.2-pound jar of Nutella in under four minutes.
