How old are they?
Nice pic, and they definitely are enjoying the water; especially if it's hot back there.
They are rescues, so they arrived without birth certificates.
Hercules, on the left is probably about thirty. Duncan, on the right, was kept for 55 years by the previous caregiver and he was full grown when he was acquired/adopted/kidnapped, so that would make him at least 75 and probably older. The tort vet I favor said he could be 100! His eyes are different than the younger ones, and he learns much more quickly than the other two.
