Tortoises keep a characteristic scute (shell segment) pattern on their shells throughout life, though the annual growth bands are not useful for determining age because the outer layers are worn off with time.

As tartarugas teñen un patrón característico no escudo da coiraza durante toda a súa vida, aínda que as bandas de crecemento anual non son útiles para determinar a idade porque as capas externas se desgastan co tempo.
