Is that the average or median or the average of those that live past 1 years or so?

Turtles and tortoises often have low survival rates for the first several years then, if they survive past the cut-off age, they mostly live to be really old. But that can really skew the math on lifespan.

But also yes, if they are thriving past their lifespan in captivity that's a good sign that they can be kept well in captivity.

It can actually become a problem in Zoos because at some point many of your animals are geriatric (because good care and medical attention). Geriatric animals require more care and may not necessarily be the best exhibit animals.

Mr. Pickles! What a scoundrel

Also tortoises can generally be kept relatively well in captivity. Simple enrichment and a decent habitat are all they need to thrive.

Wait this is a different cat?

Someone needs to make a cat specific tourism list, like visit this cat, that statue cat, the cat museum in Amsterdam, the cat island and cat train station in Japan, etc.

He has since died, but don't worry a statue of him was placed in the spot so you can still visit his likeness.

Likely part of larger problems with the population being deficient in D

FYI if you live in certain areas you probably need vitamin D. The line shifts depending on your skin tone. Try some even if you aren't pregnant, you might notice a difference in your mood and/or health

Obligatory IMNAD talk to your doctor

There is an acceptable dose, which is effectively background. Basically statistically insignificant increase in cancer risk.

While you are correct that any amount of carcinogens could cause cancer the idea that there is no safe dose suggests that any amount is deadly, which is simply untrue. We require some carcinogenic products to live (looking at you bananas) and produce others naturally.

Not to say that reducing known carcinogenic products from our lives is a bad thing. I would certainly encourage that but a little bit is ok.

Yeah but there are so many calories. Not worth it 0/10.

Experts warn that indirect sun ingestion can be dangerous depending on your intermediary. Stick to domesticated sun converters and wash them before ingestion.

For direct sun ingestion experts say it is not recommended, but it sounds super cool so please make sure you record all readings for said experts while you burn. They want that data.

What about mercury levels in brown bears? They are an apex predator that (depending on the bear) may eat lots of ocean predators.

Also definitely cook them, brown bear parasites and germs can likely live happily in your body if you let them.
