Aldabra Giant Tortoise

[sensinarie]

i think there's a mistake here, tortoises are not great swimmers, they are awful swimmers

[LizardlVlan]

You can buy them as pets. :)

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

if i had land i would get a giant tortoise landscaping crew

[zachryan10]

i want one.

[JamesPriceJohnson]

thats some nice music at the end

[sausagelamo]

No a tortoise sheds its shell when they get bigger. Then hermit crabs to lives in them dumbasses.

[redfoottorts]

sausagelamo, tortoises dont shed their shell... dumbass

[UndeadTheta]

@sausagelamo tortoises don't shed their shells.

[Divagirl810]

does a toroises shell grow with the tortoise if not how do u change the shell

[joeyratsss]

the shells grow as part of the tortise like our bones grow as part of us s

[SuperEastlake]

It grows with the tortoise, it is sort of an inside out skeleton.

[Jonzilla37]

Yes a tortoises shell is part of their skeletal system. It grows with them.

[leonardbutkiewicz93]

grows with! lol! i had the same question!

[5T3V1L]

[Divagirl810]

[gameswindows]

Thank Discovery The Best

[YellingSilently]

i think i heard something about the genes of tortoises don't have a 'natural' death of old age like we do. unless they get sick or are attacked they can live much longer than the 200 years we have seen them to be.

[fathead431]

anybody know the music from 3:05 ?

thanks

[CarlLewenski]

These things can live to be over 400 years old. Something just seems evil about keeping an animal in captivity 4 times longer than the average humans life span.

[turdonmyface]

thats a liee!!!!! the oldest one is barely under 150

[Arawanach]

really? haven't you heard about the one that died at the age of 250?

[turdonmyface]

its only a legend. adwaita (name of tortoise) has been rumored to be that old but records show her to be only 150

[DudeHuge]

Can there be a 300 year old tortoise?

[super1commenter]

yes, darwin had a tortoise (maybe galapagos tortoise) and only died recently, that is about 300 years

[vivacelife]

about 170 yrs, not 300

and some sources say it "Darwin's" is only a myth.

[super1commenter]

No, it is already proved that the tortoise belongs to Darwin

[gspott2]

his head looks likes my penis

[vivacelife]

you wish

[NICJEN2008]

[ForbiddingDurian]

O.o old..........

[robertisdude]

riding one of those would be fun

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

It's all one big blur for these tortoises, they might live hundreds of years, but what actual defining moments stick out in their minds to give them reference points, remember they don't have calendars or access to timepieces.

[beeohhski]

i remember the time i was chewing that grass and the bug jumped in my nose and i couldnt pick it cause i dont have fingers and its flapping its wings oh man SNEEZE its gone.... good times

[feetjoy]

u don't have fingers?

[beeohhski]

[kiwipink08]

1956? Oh WOW!

[jigsabad]

long live alex!

[coolglock19]

wow;;

[courtneyliu]

organisms w/ high metabolic rates generally live shorter lives... so these slow-po's must have low metabolism...

[fathead431]

anybody know the music from 3:05 ?

thanks

[tom22p]

Tortoises are proof you don't need a high metabolism to live long.

[Turrick16]
