Lady Shade Posted November 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hmmm Idk if this is true. How can a tortoise grow that big? World’s largest tortoise found in amazon river. Its age around 529 years old / height-59 feet/ weight-800 pounds OR 362.87 kg incredible… Amazing The red rimmed tortoise is also called the red-foot or red-legged tortoise, the Brazilian giant tortoise, or South American forest tortoise, as well as local names such as morrocoy, woyamou or wayamo, or some variation of jabuta. Many of the local names are shared with the similar red-footed tortoise. These types of large size tortoise are always found in the Amazon River, most of them are found in (Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and so on) the Adults often reach 3m in length, however this one is much larger.

Nighthawk9653 Posted November 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Actually, I think I heard that tortoises could live for a very long time, possibly forever. It's usually outside forces like predators and things that kill them. I think it was the tortoise anyways... I read that the way their body is, they regenerate and they never really wear out too much. As for the picture, it looks quite fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted November 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2013 uh, well... tortoises can certainly be very long lived, but they sure aren't immortal. here's a wikipedia about the oldest confirmed tortoise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tui_Malila so they can live a long time, yes. but that's all.

freetoroam Posted November 23, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It was obvious the plastic thing on the lorry was not a real tortoise, there is also no photos in the article of the giant tortoise when it was found and nothing in that article actually says it was the tortoise which was allegedly found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It resembles something from a crappy Japanese "B" movie or teenage mutant ninja turtles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
