"AUKLAND

It was nearly 200 years old.The animal, called Tu'imalila, died at the royal palace ground in the Tongan capital of Nuku, Alofa.The people of Tonga regarded the animal as a chief and special keepers were appointed to look after it. It was blinded in a bush fire a few years ago.Tonga radio said Tu'imalila's carcass would be sent to the Aukland Museum in New Zealand.
