About Blanding's Turtle (Emys blandingii)
- Kingdom: Animals
- Phylum: Chordates
- Class: Reptiles
- Order: Turtles
- Family: Fresh Water Turtle
Maximum longevity: 77 years (wild) Observations: Field studies have failed to find increases in mortality rates or reproductive output with age. Although it was observed an increase in embryo mortality in nests of older females, this is considered a species with negligible senescence (Congdon et al. 2001).
