Hi @Appleblossom , I've just watched a fictional Norwegian program about a catastrophic volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, and learned that glass sponges, an animal that lives in the very deepest oceans can have a lifespan of upto 15,000 years according to scientific estimates. That's amazing to me, and tortoises are older than the dinosaurs.

@TAB if it is any consolation my son's swimming coach would say when he complained "it is only pain it will go away". .😁. Perhaps a stiff drink would be better

For 5 years I hung out with giant turtles at our local open range zoo. In spring they would get rammy and carry on like a football team. They were all male. I also had a long necked tortoise when I was a kid. I love animals and learning about them.
