Southern leopard tortoise lifespan

[lucky_potato]

How long does the southern leopard tortoise last?
Is there a difference from normal leopard?

No one knows the answer to either question. No one knows the lifespan of any tortoise. Any number you hear is made up, or someone repeating someone else's made up number. We know that it is potentially many decades, as there are many species on record living over 100 years. I read an article many years ago that speculated, "Tortoises live until something kills them."
