Water turtle
In order to reduce work hours At that time, I brought a pet Brazilian tortoise to the company to raise. It is a relatively easy species to raise. I bought all kinds of things and believed that it would live well in the company. After all, this Brazilian tortoise turned out to be really good. I live a good life in the company, but I am often asked: Does the Brazilian turtle have a lifespan of more than a hundred years? I don’t know who these guys are talking about, but let’s find out, how long is the life span of a turtle?
1. Rumors about the lifespan of turtles
It is said that "Thousand-year-old scoundrels and ten-year-old turtles", the scoundrels here are the soft-shelled turtles we often call, and the turtles are the hard-shelled turtles that we rarely see. Shell turtles, such as the Brazilian turtle. First of all, we need to understand that a turtle cannot live for a thousand years, and a tortoise cannot live for ten thousand years. If it is true that "a thousand-year-old scoundrel and a ten-year-old turtle", then wouldn't the emperor in "Long Live My Emperor" become a spirit? ? Therefore, the lifespan of a turtle is also very limited. We eliminate the sacrifices caused by some disease factors and capture factors. If a turtle is healthy, disease-free, and the living environment is good and non-infectious, the turtle will not be infected. If caught and eaten by people, the average life span of tortoises will be more than 40 years, while the life span of Brazilian tortoises is shorter. The average age of larger tortoises will be more than 80 years, or even 100 years, of course. It has a long life, but it is not as long as people think.
Tortoise
Two different turtle species have different lifespans
Generally speaking, the lifespan of aquatic turtles is much shorter than that of land tortoises. The lifespan of aquatic turtles is usually between 30 and 50 years. The lifespan of painted turtles is shorter, generally around 20 to 30 years, while the lifespan of land turtles is generally around 20 to 30 years. The lifespan is between 50 and 80 years, naturally, provided that there is no accidental death, such as a tortoise crossing the road and being in a car accident, etc. We do not count premature death, and this is also an approximate figure. , different types of turtles will appear in unusual situations
Turtles have always been a symbol of longevity, not only in China, but also in China. Japanese turtles are also a symbol of longevity. In Japan, if an old man celebrates his birthday, it is the best choice to give him a turtle-shaped gift. For example, a turtle carved from jade is the best gift. The lifespan is not as long as we imagined, but it is indeed a pet that can accompany us for most of our lives.
