Description
Big Boy is an Aldabra Tortoise that resides at the Charles Paddock Zoo, a small community zoo in Atascadero, California. He was born in 1942, and can be expected to reach the age of between 100 and 200 years or more. The actual lifespan is yet to be determined because this species of tortoise has outlived the scientists who were studying them. Now that better records are being kept, we should have a definitive answer by the year 2150.
