Geocache Description:


Ice Age Trail. The longest living animals on Earth. Emys orbicularis 2009 G1.jpg 

 European pond turtle – 120 years

Scientists think this freshwater turtle can live as long as 120 years because one reportedly lived in a botanical garden in Southern France for that timespan. While that hasn’t been verified, scientists think it’s plausible. However, while it seems they can live very long, it’s tough for hatchling European pond turtles to even reach maturity.
