Meet Jonathan, the 189-year-old enormous tortoise who holds the record for being the world’s largest living terrestrial mammal.
Jonathan is thought to have been taken to St Helena Island around the year 1832.
Jonathan appears to be a full-grown adult in a photograph shot in 1902.
Because it takes a giant tortoise roughly 50 years to attain adult size, he is thought to have been born around 1832.
Although Jonathan is the oldest living land animal, other tortoises have lived longer in the past.
There are thousands of years old jellyfish, and a shark that is roughly 500 years old, but this is not the oldest animal, But it’s still cool.
