Do sea turtles live as long as Crush in Finding Nemo?

Answer 1

Yes. Scientists have not been able to determine the lifespan of sea turtles, since they tend to outlive humans, and therefore any research projects. Also, tagging and monitoring is a fairly new technology, so consistent, reliable data has not yet become available. Nonetheless, sea turtles as believed to live for up to a century, and quite possibly longer. Unfortunately, many sea turtles involved in research are likely to die from a variety of threats such as being entangled in fishing line or nets, being illegally poached for their meat and shells, and from pollution and ingesting rubbish.
