WHY do turtles live so long?

On average, turtles live over 200 years Many people assume it is due to their slow movements and rhythm of life; turtles have a slow metabolism and thus they don't age.

In fact, they have unique internal organs that do not wear out.

Their organs, even in old age, remain as functional as they were in their youth.
