The life of the Aldabra tortoise is also very long. Under normal circumstances, their life span can reach more than 100 years. Of course, this is only a rough figure, and the longer-lived Aldabra tortoise is also very common. The longest living Aldabra tortoise lived 225 years. Specifically, how long they can live has a lot to do with the surrounding environment, which is one of the reasons for the sharp decline in their population. If we want to make the breed of artificial breeding live longer, we need to provide a suitable environment.
The Aldabra tortoise is a very large tortoise species. When they are adults, their body length will be 105-150 centimeters. When the environment is very suitable, they will be larger. At present, the body length of the heaviest Aldabra tortoise is about 180 centimeters. In addition, in terms of weight, under normal circumstances, their weight can reach about 250 kilograms. The heaviest aldabra tortoise ever recorded weighed in at 375kg. Of all the turtle species, this is a very large turtle.
At present, the Aldabra tortoise is a protected animal, which mainly lives in nature reserves and can also be raised artificially. If they are kept in captivity, their size will be affected by the surrounding environment. If the environment is relatively suitable for their growth, then their size will be relatively large. If the environment is bad, it will affect their growth and development speed. Of course, the individual differences in their size are still relatively large, and the body length mentioned above is only a rough range.
