Theraphosids (tarantulas and baboon spiders) are the longest lived spiders having a lifespan of more than 20 years in captivity. Unsurprisingly, all these longest lived spiders are females as males have shorter lifespansâafter reaching maturity (within a year or two) they mate and die.
A land tortoise can live for more than 150 years. A giant tortoise died recently at the Calcutta Zoo. It was claimed she was 255 years old, but this has not been verified. A tortoise, given by Captain Cook to the Tongan Royal Family in 1777, died of natural causes in 1965, aged 188 years. It depends on the species.
