Read there was a reptile like creature some 300 million years ago that eventually gave rise to the lineages of reptiles, birds and mammals of today. So you're not wrong, just a few million years too late.

Damn he's like the equivalent of a 5 year old human. Probably has at least a century more to live I'm guessing.

They are actually illegal to keep as pets now in my country. Are you talking about pet ones or do you see them in the wild?

Is he sweet? Or are turtles not very cuddly?

I wishyou could cuddle a tort. He's kinda skittish, but very food motivated.
