The giant tortoise is among one of the world's longest-living animals with life spans that typically reach one hundred years or more. Additionally, they can weigh as much as one thousand pounds and reach lengths of four or more feet. Like the Schleich giant tortoise, these animals have short arms and legs that protrude from a rock-hard shell. Their shells serve as their home And protection from predators. The giant tortoise figurine does not weigh one thousand pounds like the real animal, but it is individually and artfully detailed for a realistic appearance!
