Turtles and Tortoises

Turtles and tortoises are part of the family, Testudines. Tortoises are diurnal and land-dwelling, while turtles spend most of their lives in the water. These two reptiles also have other cousins named terrapins. They can live up to 300 years, but sadly are the most highly endangered species. Unfortunately, they are poached excessively for use of food, cosmetics, and medicine.

What is a tortoise year in human years?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was said that a turtle year was somewhat like a cat year. A turtle age is 15 in human years after its first year. And then 25 years old when it's 2, and then it adds on four every year. However, this has also been said to be a myth mainly because of the various different kinds of turtles and such. There's no way to even scientifically say how old an animal is compared to human years.

You can usually find a big-headed turtle in China, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand where they are often sold in local markets, causing them to become quite endangered.

The Madagascar Big-Headed Turtle usually remains in freshwater, slow-flowing rivers or streams. It is also endangered, ranking 13th in the list of the most endangered turtles of the world. Sometimes they are captured and shipped from their habitats to Asia so they may consume them as they please, usually for medicine.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, and she would probably prefer not to, other than for the briefest period in the spring. Tortoises should only be bred if they are very healthy, and of the proper size and weight. They certainly do not need to be bred. Tortoises much prefer to live alone.
