Original: 'Jonathan' is the oldest land animal on Earth
Jonathan, a giant tortoise living on the British territory of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, is recognised as the oldest known land animal on Earth, estimated to be around 190 years old. He has lived through dozens of British monarchs and world wars, and continues to draw global attention as a living link to the 19th century.
