Celebrating 191 Years, Here is the Oldest Living Animal in the World

"Just Celebrated Its 191st Birthday, Here Is the Oldest Animal in the World That Is Still Alive Now"

"The oldest turtle in the world is 191 years old, extending its title as the oldest living land animal for another year."

The Seychelles giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea hololissa), known as Jonathan, has been living on a remote island in the South Atlantic Ocean, namely Saint Helena, since 1882 after being given as a gift to the governor at that time.

"Estimated to be born in 1832, his age is a conservative estimate because he was already fully grown. This means he was at least 50 years old when he appeared, which means he could be older. This assumed age is supported when an old photo taken between 1882 and 1886 was found showing Jonathan grazing in the garden of William Grey-Wilson, the Governor of the British Territory in St. Helena at that time."

"Jonathan was given an official birthday of December 4, 1932, by Nigel Phillips, the governor of St. Helena, last November, as reported by The Guardian."

The translation of "Dapat Rekor Dunia" to English is "Achieve World Record".

"Jonathan holds two Guinness World Records (GWR), as the oldest known living land animal and the oldest tortoise, an order known for having a hard outer shell like tortoises, turtles, and terrapins. In 2021, Jonathan claimed the title of the oldest living mammal in the world from Tu'i Malila (circa 1777–1965), a tortoise that lived to be at least 188 years old."

The translation of "Masih dalam Kondisi Sehat" to English is "Still in Good Condition".

The Seychelles giant tortoise has an average lifespan of 150 years. Although Jonathan is blind due to cataracts and has lost his sense of smell, St. Helena veterinarian Joe Hollins said that this tortoise remains in good health — with a strong libido and a good appetite.

The translation of "Memiliki Pasangan" to English is "Having a Partner".

According to the Guinness World Record (GWR), he is still trying to mate with the turtle that lives with him named Emma, who is about 55 years old, and Frederik, who is 32 years old.

The translation of "Kata Hollins." to English is "Hollins' word."

"Although aware of the responsibility and that, of course, he will die someday, I believe we have significantly improved his life expectancy," "We introduced high-calorie food once a week and this has changed him, revealing possible deficiencies in micro vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.""

said Hollins in an interview with GWR.

"Jonathan was initially identified as an Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) from Aldabra Island, which is part of the Seychelles archipelago. However, after an examination of its shell by zoology professionals and the Seychelles Nature Trust, scientists determined that it is most likely a rare Seychelles giant tortoise."

The translation of "Hidupnya Melalui Dua Perang Dunia" to English is "His/Her Life Through Two World Wars."

"In his life, Jonathan has lived through two world wars, 40 US presidents, and 31 governors of St. Helena. Currently, Jonathan peacefully roams the land with three other giant tortoises named Emma, Fred, and David."
