200 years
The Galapagos Islands are what you are referring to.
4.2 million years old
There are a ton of really old animals alive today. The oldest is a tortoise found and held in the Galapagos.
Giant tortoises in the Galapagos Islands can live over 100 years, with some individuals reaching 150 years old. The age of the turtles on the islands varies depending on the species and individual, but many are long-lived animals.
I presume you mean the Galapados tortoises? They live up to 200 years. One recently died that was born in 1830.
My father is studing turtles and he found about 150 years old
The main geological feature of the Galapagos Islands is volcanic activity. The islands were formed through a series of volcanic eruptions over millions of years, resulting in a unique landscape with diverse volcanic landforms such as craters, lava fields, and volcanic cones. This volcanic activity continues to shape the islands' geology today.
The Galapoagos Islands are quite young in geological terms. The exact age is not known but they are no more than 5,000,000 years old.
"Galápago" is an old Spanish word, meaning saddle. The large http://www.answers.com/topic/gal-pagos-tortoise on some of the islands had a shell that resembled an old Spanish saddle, thus the name. The tortoise is a unique animal found only in the Galapagos Islands, yet there are no more than 200 in the 13 main islands.
Turtles do have long life spans, but they can still die of old age.
100 Years. 100 Years.
Most turtles are ready around 4-9 years old
