No, dinosaurs are extinct and have been for a long time but a tuatara has not and is a dinosaur
Any given living tuatara has existed for around 110 years at most. Tuataras as a species have been around for around 200 million years.
Tuatara are slow breeders, so if they did not have a long lifespan, they would have been unable to survive the arrival of European settlers, or possibly even the arrival of the Maori hundreds of years earlier. Polynesian rats and European rats were both introduced to the islands of New Zealand, and these creatures have devastated tuatara populations on the mainland. Rats steal the tuatara eggs from burrows, and eat the hatchlings. Adult females tuatara only lay eggs every three to four years, so with their eggs being eaten, the tuatara populations have struggled to be maintained.
It is not known how long sloth bears live in the wild but they have been known to live up to 40 years in a zoo
It has been known to last as long as 50+ years in some people.
lumpy, long
Tuatara are not extinct yet but some believe that they are going extinct.There are 2 species of them. They diverged from the lizards in the late Triassic but were never as abundant as lizards. While lizards are known to not live that long, the Tuatara may live for more than 30 years.Rats prey on their eggs as well as some juveniles.Rats were introduced to more of the islands in which the remaining Tuatara are living in so researchers believe that once this generation die out, there wouldn't be a following generation to carry on because of the rats.I'm taking a herpetology class that just answered this question by my professor-William Carey UniversityBlackout12091: Just as a slight correction to this, the Tuatarra can live well past 100 years of age. They are not even sexually mature until the age of 20.
If taken care of properly they have been known to live up to 16 years
Tuatara (a New Zealand lizard) generally live to about 60 years old, though they can live to 100. In captivity a tuatara might live for 200 years according to experts. To get the average age, add up all the ages of all tuataras and then divide by the number of animals. The answer is probably about 40 years old.
Elephants usually live 50 years, but have been known to live up to 70 and over.
Manatees have been known to live for up to 60 years.
Hamsters and gerbils generally live for around 2 years, but have been known to live for three or four
