Study finds turtles, tortoises may age slower when their living conditions improve
Lufkin Daily News, JOEL ANDREWS/The Lufkin Daily NewsUsing data from Ellen Trout Zoo — as well as other zoos and aquariums — researchers have conducted a study that shows certain animal species, including turtles and tortoises, may age slower when their living conditions improve.
Ellen Trout Zoo is a member of Species360, a nonprofit organization that maintains the Zoological Information Management System, the largest database on wildlife in human care, according to Ellen Trout Zoo director Gordon Henley. As part of Ellen Trout Zoo’s commitment to conservation and providing high standards of animal welfare, it uses ZIMS to keep detailed records of its animal collections, he said.
The Lufkin zoo records essentially everything that happens to its animals in ZIMS, Henley said. As a holder of 97 turtles of 25 different species, the zoo has collected and shared data in ZIMS that has contributed to this study, he said.
