The world's oldest living animal, Jonathan the Tortoise, turns 190. He is assumed to be born in 1832. He was brought to St. Helena (Seychelles) in 1882 as a gift and has been roaming around ever since. The previous oldest turtle was Tu'i Malila, who lived to be 188 and died in 1965.

Happy birthday.

"Hollins added: “In spite of his age, Jonathan still has a good libido and is seen frequently to mate with Emma and sometimes Fred – animals are often not particularly gender-sensitive!”

They don't age the same way as humans. They stay physically young and healthy until one day they just go all at one.

Oh boy, and my nephew had 7 little ones dying on him within one month.

That turtle is a hero. He survived the first and second world wars, the Vietnam war and the covid-19.

My respects to this poor little turtle.

Talk it out. We're here to listen. Whatever is happening in your life it's not worth ending it.

I hope he bought some stock in the market early on. Has a nice nest egg by now.

There are Greenland sharks that scientists claim have lived at least twice as long as Jonathan in the wild. The Guinness Book of Records is fun, but it isn't science.
