Tortoises live very long, that much is known to many but Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise is perhaps the oldest known living land animal. Jonathan, who lives on the island of Saint Helena, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean has seen two world wars, the Great Depression, the deadly Spanish flu and now the coronavirus and yet continues to thrive at the island. Originally from Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, he was brought to the South Atlantic island back in 1882 with three other tortoises when he was 50 years old. Jonathan was named in the 1930s by Governor of Saint Helena Sir Spencer Davis and is now 189 years old.
