How old could sea turtles live up to?

Question

MY friend wants 2 know

Answer 1

they can live up to a 100 years old

Answer 2

Some people may want to stop depending on Disney cartoons for accurate scientific information.

No one knows the average age of sea turtles. We know most species hit 50, but beyond that, there is little hard data.

We can predict that they hit 80 (Actually, not many species of turtles break 100 very often, and most do not even hit 50.)

These poor guys have a lot of problems- most of the young get eaten, and even the adults get attacked by several animals, and are affected by storms, fishing, and so on.

Answer 3

The lifespan of sea turtles is not known. It is believed that Green Sea Turtles reach sexual maturity around the age of 25 years and can live up to 80 years of age. The long period of maturation helps to explain why it takes turtles so many years to recover from a population decline.

Answer 4

well, sea turtles gets to live very very long and old. Usually, around 100 years old.

Answer 5

It is almost impossible for scientists to accurately state this answer, but as the previous guy said they have predicted approx 50 years!
Mind you that is nothing compared to the good old Galapagos Tortoise which is known to live to 200 years old!!
