Meet 190-year-old Jonathan, the world's oldest-ever tortoise
When Jonathan the giant tortoise was born, Queen Victoria was just a teenager. While the British monarch died more than 120 years ago aged 81, Jonathan is still shuffling around planet Earth. Perhaps the most famous resident of St. Helena, one of the world's remotest islands, Jonathan is this year celebrating his 190th birthday -- making him the oldest tortoise ever to live. According to Guinness World Records, Jonathan is the oldest-ever chelonian -- a category that encompasses all turtles, terrapins and tortoises.
