Recently appearing on the world social network, the photo of a giant turtle, larger than a long-distance truck driving on the road, has caused many surprises to those interested.

It is known that the photo was originally posted on Facebook, then spread to other social sites. According to the description, this is the cakeThe largest turtle in the world, weighing up to 363 kg and 1.5 m tall. This turtle is known to be 529 years old.
The photo of a giant tortoise that is more than 500 years old is controversial.
In the photo, the giant tortoise is lying on the back of a truck on the road, which makes people look at it. To ensure safety, the front and rear of the truck are accompanied by a team of police officers.
The person who posted the photo also confirmed that this giant turtle was found in the Amazon River a long time ago.
With the rapid spread of social media, the 500-year-old giant tortoise has become a topic of discussion everywhere. In addition to surprising opinions, a number of opposing viewpoints have also been impressed by sharp, scientific arguments and evidence.
What is the truth about the giant tortoise that is more than 500 years old?
For those who are well informed and somewhat interested in turtles, it is easy to see that the turtle in the picture is different from any other turtle species recorded in the world.
In fact, the largest species of tortoise today is only the Galapalos giant tortoise, native to the Galapalos Islands, Ecuador. The Galapalos tortoise belongs to the turtle family and is one of the 10 heaviest living reptiles in the world. It has an average weight of more than 400 kg with a length of 1.8 m. But the species only reaches 170 years of maximum lifespan. So, if compared to the giant tortoise in the photo, the shape does not match. The second conflicting factor is the age difference between the natural Galapalos king tortoise and the giant tortoise in the photo.
The Galapalos tortoise is the largest tortoise in existence today.
To give the most precise evidence, the interviewers searched for information everywhere about the background of the photo and discovered that it is just one of the scenes from the Japanese movie called “Gamera the Brave” (rough translation: Gamera – brave turtle). It began filming in 2006. It is known that the movie is one of the series about giant turtles with special powers.
