The oldest tortoise on record reached an estimated 188 years old.

Meaning that it can feel when it's being touched.

The sharp decline in the tortoise's population is mostly due to hunting and the black market pet trade.

It's estimated that a staggering quarter-of-a-million radiated tortoises are harvested each year.
