Answer:

Adwaita (or Addwaita, both are correct)was the name.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adwaita just means "one and only" in the language of Sanskrit. Also spelled Addwaita was a male Aldebra giant tortoise that resided in the Alipore Zoological Gardens of Kolkata, India. Of his death in 2006, Adwaita was imagined to be amongst those of which are called "the longest living animals" on this planet.

Hope this helped :) :thumbs_up:
