Seychelles Tortoise species vary in size and are amongst longest land- lived land animals in the world. They are generally believed to between 80-120 years, and some may even pass away at over 250 years of age. They move slowly with average walking speed of 0.2-0.5km/h, and have a shell to protect from predation and other treats.
