This article would like to introduce the oldest turtle in the world.
This large turtle,
The name is
Jonathan
and his age is…
190 years old!
(´゚д゚`)Is he hermit?
Jonathan is presumed to have been born in 1832,
as his age is known from the photographs taken between 1882 and 1886.
Therefore, he turned 190 in 2022.
He was kept by Governor of St. Helena when the photo was taken.
He was a guard of Napoleon (*´Д`)
Jonathan was then presented to
Sir William Grey-Wilson
and kept by as many as 31 people.
What happened while Jonathan is alive

• 1878 – The first incandescent light bulb was invented
• 1887 – Eiffel Tower completed
• 1903 – Wright brothers powered flight flew in the sky

Human life has changed dramatically.
Jonathan is currently being taken care of by a veterinarian.
