Old, But Amazing ! Same Tortoise Is In A Picture From 1902... And 2014 !

You're probably familiar with the story of the tortoise and the hare. The whole "slow and steady thing" is the key to winning the race. Right? As it turns out, going "slow and steady" is important for when you're racing rude hares... and just living life.


This tortoise made that point perfectly clear. His name is Jonathan and he might be the oldest living tortoise on Earth.



It is thought that Jonathan was brought to the island of St. Helena in 1882. A photo from 1902 shows him at his full adult size and it can take 50 years for a giant tortoise to reach its adult size, meaning that he could have been born in 1832.


Jonathan is probably the oldest land animal currently living, but he isn’t the oldest ever – other tortoises have lived longer, with one unconfirmed tortoise in India that may have lived up to as many as 250 years of age.He's slow moving, but he is probably going to beat all of us.
