I don’t think tortoise here in the Philippines will reach the age of 250 or more. Filipinos love to eat the meat of tortoise. I know there are laws protecting this kind of animals, but these laws are nothing for those who want to taste its cooked meat.

There were debates on its actual age but some said:
