API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

Turtle estimate uses a conservative linear 1:1.5 mapping. Model: linear-ratio-v1. The coefficients are this site's educational model, not a validated measure of biological age. Breed, size, health and life stage affect interpretation. A primary source establishing the ratio for this species has not been documented.

Method & Estimate Model

Estimate basis: output follows the selected species or breed estimate model used on this page.
Applied mapping: Turtle.
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same estimate profile assumptions in both directions.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this medically exact?

No. It is an estimate for comparison, not a veterinary or medical assessment.

Can I use decimal values?

Yes. Fractional inputs are supported, but the result is still shown as an age estimate in days, weeks, months, or years rather than a biological or clinical measure.
