Adwaita foi um jabuti da espécie jabuti-gigante-de-aldabra que especula-se ter vivido aproximadamente 250 anos. Adwaita, que significa "a única" em Bengali, tinha pelo menos 150 quando faleceu em 2006 no zoológico de Alipore. Entretanto, registros históricos sugerem que ela tenha sido um dos animais de estimação de Robert Clive da Companhia das Índias Orientais.
