I remember when I was a child, my grandparents liked to tell me stories. When the Cowherd and weaver girl met at the magpie bridge in the sky, Wu Gang cut the laurel, Chang’e ran to the moon, and many fairy stories. My grandmother was very superstitious. She believed in the existence of God, but Xiaobian didn’t believe in that evil, but Xiaobian was still young at that time. She often asked grandma if the gods would not die! Grandma will also tell me that immortals live longer than bastards! In fact, Xiaobian didn’t understand it at that time. Until later, Xiaobian I knew that the king of thousands of years and the turtle of thousands of years! This sentence suddenly realized that bastard is a turtle! Indeed, in many people’s impression, the tortoise is a creature with a long life span. The oldest tortoise is about 182 years old and has long died. In fact, the tortoise’s life span is not long in the animal world, but it is still very long compared with human beings!
So what is the normal life span of a turtle? It’s hard to say that the average tortoise is between 80 and 200 years old, and the pet tortoise is certainly not that long. Generally speaking, depending on the owner, some may die after a few years, but if you meet a good owner, snack on the pet! There is no problem living for more than 100 years. You can pass it on to your son as an heirloom. Your son may be old and the tortoise may still be alive! It is estimated that when your grandson is about 60 years old, the lovely little turtle will die!
So don’t be surprised. Generally speaking, creatures in water do live longer than those on land! The carp that wants to live the longest is a carp named huazi in Japan, which is 227 years old. Born in 17 and died in 1977. For example, whales live in the deep sea. There is a kind of bowhead whale, which looks very casual, but how can people live long. The average life span is 200 years! So in fact, the first place in life span, you can never guess, is a kind of Shark! It’s called Greenland sleeping shark. The oldest Greenland sleeping shark has lived for more than 560 years, which is also the longest vertebrate known to mankind!
Alas, compared with these animals, it’s not long to suddenly find a turtle! Not even the top three!
