The world’s oldest living land animal

My meeting with Jonathan, a 192-year-old tortoise.

At 192, Jonathan the tortoise is the world’s oldest living land animal. He was hatched around 1832, and once met King George VI.

I recently visited Jonathan on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. Here’s my interview with the island’s senior vet Jonathan Hollins. His book Vet at the End of the Earth is available to buy here.
