Caretaker John Brockelsby feeds Methuselah a piece of watermelon on the Galapogos tortoise's 130th birthday at the Reptile Gardens in Rapid City. Methuselah was born in 1881 and came to Reptile Gardens in 1956. The oldest tortoise in the world is estimated at 170 years old. "Watermelon to a tortoise is like a chocolate cake to a kid," Brockelsby said.
