Galapagos tortoises are one of the longest living animals, some reaching over 150 years old

The record holder for the longest tortoise life goes to… a Madagascar Radiated Tortoise (Geochelone radiata) who was given to the Tongan royal family by Captain Cook in the late 1700’s and lived to the ripe old age of 188!
