How long do turtles and tortoises live?

Answer 1

A land tortoise can live for more than 150 years. A giant tortoise died recently at the Calcutta Zoo. It was claimed she was 255 years old, but this has not been verified.

A tortoise, given by Captain Cook to the Tongan Royal Family in 1777, died of natural causes in 1965, aged 188 years.

It depends on the species. There are reports of tortoises living over 100 years - though details are sketchy.
