    This is misleading, Gorillas are technically omnivores. I think elefants are pretty strict vegans, though. When it comes to tortoise I am not quite sure.

      Water tortoises are omnivores for sure:

      A friend of mine had a small garden pool with 2 or 3 tortoises and decided to buy some more fish to add the pool. The day after, half of the fish was gone leaving my friend puzzled. The second day the fish was gone and he understood why: tortoises, at least water ones, are omnivores.

    Longest lived is a carnivore/scavenger, the Greenland shark.

    Largest is the blue whale… a carnivore.

    Pretty much the same for the other two.

      That is a tortoise, not a turtle.

          I mean, I can throw a compilation link of horses eating all sorts of small animals that cross their paths. Cool that you want to be a vegan yourself but I can’t think of any animal that isn’t opertunistic to free calories.

          Cool. Good context. As soon as I saw the gorilla I was like, mmmmok. Should have put a horse or something. Horses are super strong.

            Horses are pretty opportunistic too. You are supposed to be quite careful with chompables around them.

          AFAIK, the Greenland shark is mainly a carnivore/scavenger

        There is no overall consensus on how the terms “turtle”, “tortoise”, or “terrapin” should be used. Whether a tortoise is a turtle or not is a colloquial issue not a scientific one.

      Turtles are omnivores and can live up to 50 years, tortoises are herbivores and can live up to 200 years.

        Free calories are free in the animal world.
