10-year-old girl keeps same pet tortoise 56 years

For her 10th birthday, in 1962, Jeanna Smith was surprised with a special gift: a pet tortoise. Now, Boyd Huppert checks in on the pair - still together, 56 years later. kare11.tv/2Hq0n17

    It depends on the diet and age of the tortoise - I've got a 30-40 year old tortoise that is and will never be as large as the two 5 year old tortoises I have. I'm fairly sure but can't prove the oldest was an illegal import as a wild caught individual. The younger two though exceed him in weight by noticeable amounts despite being many years younger.They operate differently to us an 18year old human is equivalent to a 20 year old tortoise while a 21 year old human is equivalent to a 30 year old tortoise.

EDIT: I called my cousin to ask some questions about Marlowe. Apparently, he died last week. He was a hyacinth macaw. Caught by my great uncle in Brasilia as a fledgling in 1935. He was three feet tall and weighed just under five pounds. So, I guess RIP🦜Marlowe.

    What a great story! Tortoises are amazing . I got my South American Redfoot in 1968 when I was in high school. Her name was Studebaker. She was already an adult so I don't know how old she was. I had her over 35 years. She was paper trained and hand fed. She had free run of my kitchen. When I got older I took her to a local library during their summer reading program. I did that about 12 years. Our local newspaper even did a story about us (The Saginaw News, Saginaw MI)

The newspaper article I'm talking about was published on Sunday October 6, 2002. Having a pet tortoise that long, while rare can be done if you take proper care of the animal.
