    I've had a few turtles for 43 years, maybe more than 100 years, but I can't look it up. A few years ago, the turtle gave birth to a baby turtle, but it was eaten by some animal. This year, five more baby turtles were raised, but I don't know why the old ones ate them.

    I let go of the 2 little turtles to raise whether they can be fed, because it has been for many months now, and it doesn't eat anything, if it can be fed, I'll write it in the future....

    No. The age and growth of the turtle: how long the turtle lives, there is no conclusion at present, generally speaking, it can live for 100 years, according to relevant research, there are more than 300 years, and some even sell out for more than a thousand years.

    There are more than 150 kinds of turtles in Hainan Island, including golden turtles, grass turtles, flat-chested turtles, Hainan closed-shell turtles, ground turtles, spotted turtles, green turtles, mountain turtles, etc., accounting for more than 50 percent of the turtles in the country.

    The folk are known as the millennium tortoise and the turtle for ten thousand years, which shows that the life span of the turtle is long, and ancient people often use the "turtle age" as a metaphor for high life. Guo Pu, a Jin person, has a poem that says: "Borrowing a mayfly generation, I would rather know the year of the turtle and crane."

    Turtles can live from a few hundred to more than 1,000 years. "Historical Records" records that there was an old man in the south who used a turtle to pad the foot of the bed, and a cushion was 20 years, and after the old man died, people moved the bed away, and the turtle could still crawl. In 1984, a giant turtle was exhibited in Nanyang, Henan Province, with a turtle age of more than 1,000 years old, which can be described as "the longevity star of the turtle", and I am afraid that such a long-lived animal can no longer be found in the world.

    More than 200 million years ago, they were found on the earth, and with the continuous evolution of nature, there are very few reptiles left in the world, and there are still many turtles.

    Turtles can live long because they have a hard carapace, and in the cold or hot season, they can enter "hibernation" and "summer hibernation", so that the metabolism is very slow, and the energy consumption is very small, and its hunger, thirst, and hypoxia tolerance are particularly strong. The weather of Hainan Island is mild, and the wild food is abundant, which is very suitable for the breeding of turtles, and turtles grow in the mountains, streams, rivers and ravines, coastal marshes, and deep mountains and dense forests in various parts of Hainan.

    In fact, fundamentally speaking, the reason why turtles live longer than humans is mainly because of genetic problems, that is, due to the different genetic conditions, the turtles themselves have a longer lifespan, and humans are also because of the different genetic conditions, resulting in our current situation can only have an average lifespan of several decadesIn addition, the main reason for the longevity of the turtle may also be because the turtle itself moves slowly, and if the action is slow, it is very helpful for the growth of our life expectancy, for example, some people who are irritable or anxious are generally prone to illness, because impatience will lead to changes in people's physical conditions. So this is also a major factor that interferes with our longevity. Under normal circumstances, if humans want to live a long life, we must pay attention to the following points:

    1. Maintain a reasonable work and rest habit

    From a health point of view, it is very important to maintain a reasonable work and rest habits, just as there are days and nights in 24 hours of the day, the human body is also in this state, during the day when our yang energy is released for labor, but when we enter the night, we should enter a state of restraint and rest.

    2. Maintain good eating habits

    People are iron, rice is steel, three meals a day are indispensable, but the correct eating habits can help us to ensure health and increase life expectancy, unhealthy eating habits will directly damage our health and affect our life expectancy, so it is recommended that we try to maintain a light diet.

    3. Maintain reasonable exercise

    Life lies in exercise, exercise can accelerate the heartbeat, promote blood circulation, improve the body's immune function and resistance function, and has a very good effect on the prevention of a variety of diseases and chronic diseases, so it is recommended that you make an exercise plan for yourself according to your actual situation, and stick to it for a long time.

    Because the tortoise's metabolic respiration is particularly slow, he lives longer. The human body metabolizes quickly and breathes fast, so the body consumes quickly. That's a few decades to live.

    The root cause of turtles' long lifespan is their slow metabolism, which is also characteristic of many cold-blooded animals. Humans and other homeothermic animals, in order to remain competitive, must speed up their metabolism. It is the immutable biological basis.

    Organisms with different body structures and slow cell metabolism have a long lifespan, so creatures like lions do not live long.
