Sometimes, I wonder how some people graduated from school. Don't you know that reptiles especially, tortoise and turtle do have a long life span. If na Oyinbo tell you the age now, you will believe it. One mumu was even asking of the birth certificate, what a shame.

As an edoman...... There is more meaning than what we know
Its a thoughtful gift. The tortoise is wise, slow walking but calculative. Not forgetting that they live very long. Wise choose of gift indeed.

Is very true because the tortoise in UI zoo was 120yrs as at 2013.
You don't believe it, yet you say its very true.
