Sea turtles are one of the longest-lived animals in the world, and turtles are also living fossils of the world's animal kingdom, and many scientists have inferred what had happened on Earth before by studying sea turtles. Many people dream of being like turtles, although the appearance is not very handsome, the body is also very bulky, but the turtles can indeed live a long time, can witness the development of the whole world.
First, how many years can turtles live
In our country, there was such a rumor called the king of the millennium and the turtle of 80,000 years, and many people would mistakenly think that the turtle could live for ten thousand years, which is indeed impossible. A normal sea turtle, about 150 to 200 years of life, the longest sea turtle found to live is 300 years, but although human beings are now very developed in medicine technology, want to live more than 100 years old, it is more difficult, if the human life expectancy can be exchanged with the turtle, then human life will be more happy, because they see their countless descendants of the scene.
Second, why can turtles live so long
Turtles can live so long, and their daily behavior norms, there is no big connection, in the daily life of sea turtles, they are eating and walking slowly, the life of any kind of creature on the earth, depending on their own genes, genes determine all the properties of all life, for example, human genes determine that people's age is difficult to exceed 120 years old, puppy genes also determine that the age of puppies will hardly exceed 20 years old, if you want to make humans live a larger number of years, you must change the genes of the human body, This is almost impossible.
Third, the turtle can live so long without exercising
The most typical feature of sea turtles is that the movement is very slow, but the turtles are naturally inactive by their natural personality, if the turtles and humans, every day very busy sports, but will greatly damage the turtle's physical health, the turtle body has a very good nature, under normal circumstances the turtle eats a very large amount, but if you do not give the turtle any food for a long time, the turtle can keep six years without starvation, which is also an important reason why the turtle can live so long.
