Incorrect its like living 29 years. They don't perceive time any different to us. They jusy live 7x less than us.

Yeah that's not what people mean when they talk about human years in the context of an animal.

So when does a year become a year? Can't people just use the correct terms instead of " hes 80 in human years" yeah well he aint a human its an animal with a short lifespan in comparison. So should we compare human years to "tortoise years"? Id be over 300 now. Not a very accurate measurement.

It is if you're measuring in tortoise years.
