the gestation period between humans and elephants is much different. Interestingly Galapagos tortoise also experience a late puberty stage, yet live for up to 150 years..

Galapagos tortoise reaches sexual maturity at 20 to 25 years old so proportionately much the same as humans and elephants.

up to 40 years in the wild… captive populations skew this.

So 20 to 40 years… still in the ballpark.
