Jonathan the Tortoise Confirmed as Oldest Land Animal Alive
Original: 'Jonathan' is the oldest land animal on Earth
Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise living on the island of St Helena, is recognised as the oldest known land animal on Earth, estimated to be around 190 years old. He was already fully grown when photographed in the late 1800s and has lived through the reigns of numerous British monarchs, drawing renewed attention to his remarkable longevity.
Why now: Renewed media coverage of Jonathan's extraordinary age is fascinating readers worldwide.
