The longest-living land animal is the Aldabra giant tortoise, which can live for over 150 years. Native to the Aldabra Atoll in Seychelles, this species exemplifies longevity among terrestrial vertebrates. With a slow metabolism and a herbivorous diet, these tortoises lead a generally sedentary lifestyle, which contributes to their lengthy lifespan. Some individual tortoises have been observed to live even beyond 200 years in captivity. Their conservation status is currently considered vulnerable due to habitat destruction and human impact, making efforts to protect their natural habitats crucial for their survival.
