About Tu'i Malila
Tu'i Malila was a tortoise that Captain James Cook was traditionally said to have given to the royal family of Tonga. She was a female radiated tortoise from Madagascar. Although believed to have been a male during its life, examination after the tortoise's death suggested it was female.
