#Tortoise #GuinnessBook #WorldRecord
Jonathan is gorgeous and looks quite healthy.
Looking great for his age 😀
Wow. The times this tortoise has lived through.
Bro lived to see the Victorian Era, Industrial Revolution, Titanic, WW1, WW2, & Queen Elizabeth’s reign….LEGEND
American Civil War as well.
@@Smasho8000 If a person have lived so long he have probably been crazy because of the enorm technology development and the changes in the world in his/her lifetime. But for a turtle is of course not the same...........luckily.😊😊😊😊
Also through 2 worldwide pandemics (Spanish Flu and COVID), the entire Cold War, the reunification of Germany, and the rise and fall of the USSR.
Bro's lived through 40 US presidents
And didn't have to experience any of it. Just stayed chilling on a tropical island eating fruit and soaking up the rays.
Can you imagine the things Jonathan must've seen? If he could talk, he'd probably have a lot of stories to tell!
There was this time when I ate some nice lettuce, and then there was this time I ate some nice fruit, and then there was this time ... times a few hundreds of thousands of times
Tortoise's ages are measured by studying their shell growth, so a zoologist would have confirmed Jonathan's age.
But he's a kid compared to some Arctic sharks, one of whom was estimated to be around 400 years old.
Well those are sea animals, he is the oldest living creature on land currently.
@@nguyentandung42 aren't turtles sea creatures aswell?
@@MarksTournaments that is a land tortoise, not a turtle.
@@MarksTournaments oh god, this comment reminded me of that video of a woman throwing a tortoise into a pond because she thought turtle and tortoise were the same thing
No they van Inlay estimate the age he was grown up in 1882 and grown up means at least 50.
I love him! ❤❤❤
I love him so much.
That’s a little strange.
Awww. So cute. I hope they can do something to improve his site
Is he older than Mitch McConnell?
🤣
He's better looking than Mitch O'Connell
Probably smarter than him & possesses more charisma as well.
😂😂
Don't bother Both him and Biden will be out soon
He's wonderful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤗
Many loves to him and all creatures from me!
"Return the Truth Tortoise"
Protect ancient turtle from The Shredder
SNL recently did a game show sketch where the prize was a turtle and the winner would have to take care of it for the next 100+ years. None of the contestants wanted to be the winner.
Turtles need water generally to submerge in, feed in & thrive . A tortise is strictly a land dwelling creature , often in dry , or desert like biomes.
I hope Johnathon reaches 200 years old in the future.
so there is still a creature alive that met Napoleon. Wow
TAKE LIFE SLOW AND LIVE LONGER
This Grizzled Old Veteran of a Tortoise has been around for the death of William IV, Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI and Queen Elizabeth, been around for the First Flight and 6 Moon landings, 2 World Wars and is still kicking
Ohhh his beautiful 🎉🎉😂🎉❤
Oh that would be an amazing experience to meet and sit with Jonathan ❤
WOW! THAT IS AMAZING !! Does he have any offspring to speak of? I hope so.
He's living a good life
Nice to see you Grandpa Tortoise 😁😸🐢🌷
I adore Jonathan the Great ❤
Goals in life to be as calm and calculated as this turtle :).
Beautiful ❤️
They claim its the oldest. They don't know that for a fact. The news need to specify that its claim instead reporting it as fact.
Thanks Captain Obvious.
Oldest *known* land animal.
"Known" is implied by default when talking about something so obvious loll
@askani21 news is there to report accurately not to imply. The news is not a chat with friends or gossip at the Cafe. News is not informal
@@diegoflores9237Are you doing a report for school on the news? It sure sounds like it.
Someone needs to edit and correct the current age to 191
Poor guy. I didn't know he was blind now. 😭
Thats one old dog
That’s actually a tortoise, sir. Let me set you up with my optometrist…
192 years is crazy,if i ever got the chance to live to that age ,i would be alive until the year 2195, i would be suprised if these tortoise lived well above 200 or who knows beyond ! Scientists should study these incridble species, 50 years from now ,they or the bowheadwhales will be the key to help us live longer !
That's what i call living legend! lol
What's his diet like ? Can he give some health tips?
We have Tom who is 300 years old in Zimbabwe
Wow❤
Wow!
That blindness is unadressed vitamin A deficiency. Sadly
Long live Jonathan hopefully gets some vitamin A
My name is Jonathan and I also love to be stroked omg I knew I was a tortoise in a past life
I use to be Biden pet when i was younger
Age is just a number for some.....Biden at 81 looks frail...Jonathan looks great
What does that translate to human age?
Jonathan is not the oldest in the world. We have 300 years tortoise 🐢 in Nigeria Ibadan palace
Master oogway
I've read that Jonathan has a girlfriend or two, and possibly a boyfriend as well. But since he's blind, maybe he isn't aware of who he's getting jiggy with 😅.
God loves turtles! they live so long but they are not under the catagory as sinners!
W❤
He is more appealing then Kamala Harris
Smarter too
Hopefully something has been done to preserve his genetic line...😊
Did Biden buy him as a hatchling from a Delaware pet store?
Is his last name McConnell 😂
@@gracerodgers8952McConnell does look like a turtle... good point..
Don't Insult that beautiful creature by associating him with Mitch M.
Just a few years younger than Joe Biden
Wish that was Trump so this earth can be peace
it dosent deserve to live that long.
Obviously he does.
Going hard for the down votes eh
You don't deserve to have your comment posted, but yep, there it is anyways.
Just Like the tortoise, it's still there.
He’s been around since Andrew Jackson was in office.
