Why Do Turtles Live Such A Long Time? Make your way to the HEART OF THE TURTLE START HERE!

Turtles have a fairly low metabolism, and are among the longest lived vertebrates (other reptiles like crocodiles, and some fish can live a long time too). As a general rule, slower metabolism does correlate with longer life (and vice-versa). Of course, size also correlates with life span. They are slow because they don’t have to be fast! Turtles don’t have to chase food, and they don’t have to run away from predators, so there isn’t any reason for them to be anything except slow. They have nice, thick shells, which means that most predators simply don’t bother with them. Speeding around can lead to Bad Things – like falls, broken bones (or shells), sprains, bruises and otherwise unpleasant things. Unless there is a reason for speed, it is usually selected against.

Be like a Turtle, live a long and healthy life by “Choosing NOT” to use Tobacco! A giant tortoise can live to be more than 150 years old!
