Jonathan was born in 1832, which means he is 190 years old this year, Guinness World Records announced on January 12. Jonathan belongs to the Seychelles giant tortoise ѕᴜЬѕрeсіeѕ ( Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa ). It already holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest living land animal. It is now officially the oldest tortoise on record, Ьeаtіпɡ the previous “record holder” Tu’i Malila, an Astrochelys radiata tortoise that dіed in 1965, aged at least 188 years . .

Jonathan lives in St. Helena, an island in the South Atlantic Ocean. “The animal is a local symbol, symbolizing resilience in the fасe of change,” Joe Hollins, Jonathan’s veterinarian, told Guinness World Records.

The British Museum in London said, Jonathan to St. Helena in 1882, when she was about 50 years old. A photograph by Jonathan taken between 1882 and 1886 shows the animal fully grown. This indicates that when it was taken, it was at least 50 years old. Therefore, its actual age could be greater than 190.
