George Washington was a teenager when this tortoise was born! So was Helen Thomas.

Would be interesting if scientists find a medical breakthrough of human longevity from studying the tortoise though frankly I think its because their metabolism is so slow.
Amazing to even imagine living possibly 300 years!

yep slow metabolism slow heart beat and such, look how fast a hamsters heart beat is and they don't live very long.

I propose he is an AMERICAN tortoise...having seen much of the birth of our country until today....Rightly positioned...he would have seen ALL of our Founding Fathers and our glorious past!!!
What a miracle of life!
