Tortoises really do live life in the slow lane. Their large shells makes them move slowly and their cold-blooded bodies work at a gentler pace than ours—so they take longer to wear out. Giant tortoises may live for more than a century. The plates of a tortoise shell get wider as the animal grows, sometimes making a ring every year— a bit like a tree trunk.
