Turtle Divorce

By: NBC News

Updated: June 12, 2012

After more than a century together, a pair of giant turtles are calling it quits.

Bibi and Poldi have been a couple for a whopping 115 years, living at zoos in Austria and Switzerland, but now their love has apparently turned sour.

The first clue for zoo staff, Bibi attacked Poldi by biting off a chunk of his shell, then more attacks followed.

The zoo has tried to get the two to reconcile but so far, no luck.
