The habits of green turtles are very special. Of all the species of Chelonia, the green turtle is the only one that lives in the sea. As a sea turtle, the green sea turtle has a very long life. Green sea turtles can live up to 80 years under normal circumstances, that is, they will not suddenly die of external causes, and more than 80 years of green sea turtles are very common. Currently, the longest-lived green turtle on record has lived 152 years.
The life span of both wild and captive green turtles is affected by environmental factors. If the environment is suitable for their survival and growth and development, their life span will naturally be longer. On the contrary, in the case of harsh environment, it will lead to their life expectancy shortened, or even directly lead to their death.
The size of the green turtle is very large, and it is relatively large among all turtle species. As adults, green sea turtles generally range in length from 80 to 150 centimeters, with the longest green sea turtle currently measuring 153 centimeters in length, but overall, such large green sea turtles are not particularly common. You can also look at their weight, which generally ranges from 65 to 136 kilograms after adulthood, and the heaviest green turtle recorded so far weighs 250 kilograms.
This kind of turtle can be raised in captivity. The body size of captive green turtles can be affected by many environmental factors. For example, the surrounding space, if the space is insufficient, will seriously affect the life span of green turtles; And the nutrition of food, if you want to make them bigger, you need to feed them regularly, and choose nutritious food.
