World's oldest land animal had a party

Now that is amazing! He is adorable, I wonder how big he actually is. Anyone know how long they can live if an accident or illness doesn't take them?

Pretty crappy as on average one in captivity lives 10-20 years...so they said.
That is sad. Hopefully they can harvest enough little turtles to put back out in the ocean to keep them going.

That always was a heartwrenching scene. Watching poor baby turtles just hatched trying to make it to water. Saw it on one of those 'planet earth' shows.

Ya a lot don't make it. But that is nature, I guess.
