How Long Do Tortoise Live
Tortoises are known for their long life span, they can live for as much as 80 to 150 years. However, some species can live even longer, up to 250 years before they die… Statistics holds that the oldest tortoise ever recorded was Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise who was 190 years old in 2022. Some believe Jonathan could be as old as 200 years old. The lifespan of a tortoise depends on several factors, including:
- Species: Larger species, like giant tortoises, tend to live longer than smaller species.
- Care: Tortoises in captivity can live longer if they receive proper care than those that are not in captivity .
- Health: Some species of tortoise may be more prone to health issues that can shorten their lives. also tortoise with good health issues tend to live longer than those who encounter negative health challenges
- Predation: In the wild, tortoises and their eggs are vulnerable to predators thereby determining life span.
Tortoises are considered to be the longest-living land animals. However, marine clams, like the ocean quahog, can live even longer. In 2006, research showed that an ocean quahog was estimated to be 507 years old.
