Yesterday the local newspaper revealed that Papy, the emu that lives in the botanical gardens in Tours, has died at the age of 43 years.
Papy, photographed by me a few years ago.
He arrived at the gardens in February 1982 and came from the Parc Floral de la Ville d'Orléans.
Papy was the oldest of the hundred or so animals that live in the Botanical Gardens of Tours. In the wild emus only live 10 - 20 years.
