His timeline He was 33 years old when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated He was 51 years old when Nikola Tesla came to the United States He was 81 years old when WW1 broke out He was 85 when WW1 ended He was 96 when the Great depression happened He was 101 when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany He was 106 when WW2 broke out He was 113 when WW2 ended
I just find this so amazing that a living breathing being can live for two centuries! Oh if he could only speak he’d probably say I’m just living my best life! ❤
@@darthsidious8118 Hmm..no, probably more something like "I can't believe how many animals have gone extinct, how much habitat he and other tortoise have lost, how the climate is completely deregulated, all thanks to humans"
@@Lethallime1234 Agree. So much has happened over his lifetime but it's not like he was involved with any of it. His life would just be him chilling out eating grass the whole time while world wars happened in the background, lol.
@Hey, that 'background' could have some quite wild scenes though. Who knows, maybe some artillery landed just barely enough away to not kill him in those past wars.
I love tortoises and it's amazing that Jonathon is so old yet so feisty. I think he wanted to sit on the gentleman vet's lap. I just wish I could hear better. The mix is off, with the music being louder than the speaking.
@@JacobBite well there are new species but back then there were turtles and tortoises looking like the ones today whereas many other species didn't excist then or have changed quite a bit. The earliest known tortoise species lived in the triassic period
Humans lived with dinosaurs to, there are dinosaur carvings on a temple not even a thousand years old. Many descriptions of them throughout history, even in the 1800s.
Yes!!!!!!! I just got into Jonathan and his story and so I'm just happy and glad to see that he literally just had another birthday and hope to see many more!!!!!!!
This is unbelievable. Jonathan is the living link between Ruskin and Morris I have written about, Marx, Engels, Dickens, Melville, Dostoyevsky, Zola, Rimbaud, Wyspiański, Berlioz and us. When I was writing about Ruskin and Morris I thought that they had lived so long ago that I considered them to be closer to Shakespeare than our Times, which is technically not True. And now I am getting older and Will be buried in the past sooner or later. This turtle is a Little Wonder, a living monument of history
The context of him petting jonathan is just funny to me that he was basically petting someone who older than himself. Its like a kid who petting his dad 💀
Humans.... They be living 60-70, year's then they be counting the days when they die i think it better the way it is now.. life would be much harder for us then imagine living 50-60 years while you can't walk properly or see
Just knowing he existed when Andrew Jackson was in office and still going strong is absolutely incredible hope to many more years of living god bless Johnathan
This turtle was born when France occupied Algeria in the year 1830. It was not far from Napoleon. This turtle was actually born in a world where there were no cars, as the carriages were mangy with horses and witnessed the Prussian-French War.
Fencing him in the paddock probably stopped him wandering for the food he needed including the fallen fruit. Good that his diet has been looked at and improved.
Some Greenland sharks are probably older. There was also a 500 year old clam. Unfortunately, they had to kill the clam just to find out how old it was.
I wish He was friends with Adwaita, if they could communicate with eachother, imagine the amazing stories they'll tell eachother about their life. RIP Adwaita 😢
He doesn't look a day older than 150
Underrated commentary lol
Yea but he actually there are photos from the past
yes to me it looks like 147ish
Pssst -- I think that's cause he had some work done, but don't tell anyone. He doesn't want people to think he's vain.
🤣

@FatDonut, anyone using the word "bro" shouldn't be saying anything about anything.
ok bro@@davidrichter9164
We should all be like Jonathan, he has a totally care free existence. Amazing creature.
Well he doesn't have to pay rent
Jonathan is so cute lol & he was around when my ancestors were there. That's incredible. I'd love to meet him one day.
I rode on his back when i was a little boy.

@@talldarkstranger1829what year was that
He’s such a cute guy, here’s to another 50 years hopefully! ❤
Bless the people who care for this great beast. Happy late birthday Jonathan!!!
Here’s to 200!
Happy birthday Jonathan May God Bless and has AMAZING 👏 🙏🏻 BORN AROUND 1832!
I just find this so amazing that a living breathing being can live for two centuries! Oh if he could only speak he’d probably say I’m just living my best life! ❤
Ben önceki nesillerin yaşamlarını ve bilinen olayların detaylı konularını ve kayda alınmamış olayları duymak isterdim
Greenland sharks can live for over 5 centuries, although most of it is spent on floating around trying to find a rare mate in the vast ocean
He was hatched when William IV was King.
@@darthsidious8118 Hmm..no, probably more something like "I can't believe how many animals have gone extinct, how much habitat he and other tortoise have lost, how the climate is completely deregulated, all thanks to humans"
@@ykMMDderegulated climate😂😂
Happy birthday sir Johnathan!!!
May you celebrate many more years
Imagine going into his memory and seeing what he’s seen
Not much dramatic stuff ?
@@Lethallime1234 Agree. So much has happened over his lifetime but it's not like he was involved with any of it. His life would just be him chilling out eating grass the whole time while world wars happened in the background, lol.

Domain expansion: Infinite Void
He has seen a lot of people for sure
God is Great isn't he
Bless Johnathan and give him many more happy years! 💕
The price of old age is a slow life. I hope he lives to at least 300. I wish he could speak and tell stories
We need to tell them to contact a animal psychic communicator
Thanks to the vet and I wish the couple many good years together. Greetings from Berlin
He surpassed two world war, he was a legend in 1945 already
What about 3
Wow that is so awesome! What a cute old dinosaur. It makes me happy people are looking after these things so well.
Thing?
@@letolethe3344 a noun is a person place or thing ; so technically .... Animals are things .!! 😭😭😭😭😭
@@letolethe3344 Yes, like my huge thing.
@@samirh2758Not as huge as JoJo’s
He looks like he wants to climb into the gent's lap! What a lovely, gentle creature.
He's on my 'bucket list'....what a gorgeous torti❤
I love tortoises and it's amazing that Jonathon is so old yet so feisty. I think he wanted to sit on the gentleman vet's lap. I just wish I could hear better. The mix is off, with the music being louder than the speaking.
Born around 1832 wow!! Such a cute and chilled living turtle
Incredible! He's literally been around for everything notable in the modern era.
🫶🏽🫶🏽♥️🐢Jonathan, blessings sweetheart!♡♡♡
Tortoises seem so wise, they have been around for so long, their ancestors were living with dinosaurs! 🐢💚
I mean every single animal on earth's ancestors were living with dinosaurs

We're living with dinosaurs right now.
@@yeti3994yes the bird
What a beautiful animal! Great story!
This guy is so lucky. I'd love to chill with Johnathan
He looks great, I am so happy he is being so well cared for.
🎉🎉🎉 Happy Birthday, Jonathan 🎊🎊🎊 Your existence is a blessing to this world.
Happy birthday, Jonathan!
What an awesome chilled creature.
Happy Birthday to Jonathan from Ohio!
Best birthday congratulation in Ohio💀
Swag like ohio
Ohio?
@@emanuellucin Ohio is a state in the United States of America.
Oh shoot, here the unfunny Gen Z/Alpha people come.
What a beautiful creature!
Moving so slow for so long is probably an asset that helps with living a long life it's like doing yoga, taichi and meditation your entire life.
Wow! Really great to see these magnificent creatures! Great video thanks!
Wow..... I hope someday meet u Jonathan
Yes!!!!!!! I just got into Jonathan and his story and so I'm just happy and glad to see that he literally just had another birthday and hope to see many more!!!!!!!
He is beautiful. God Bless him
Wonderful tortoise :) May he have many more years to come! 🤗
jonathan is 191 today and he was on CNN 10 today
I just hope he can make it to 200! If so he will be the first veterbrate animal to be confirmed to live that age!
Much love to my tortoise brudda! Stay strong old man, from Jonathon to Jonathan :D
He's gorgeous. I have a Hermann called Daniel Craig he's 9 years old .Love him with all my heart ❤❤❤❤
just read that Jonathan has turned 191. amazing! he might outlive many of us as well :)
OMG - so cute these two individuals who know and like each other 🥰

Sir John, O.B.E., is a smashing bloke!
Jonathan has seen the complete family hierarchy of the people whom he met... 🙌🙌🙌
Many more happy returns Jonathan🙏🏼
happy birthday and many morex
Happy birthday Jonathan, from Vietnam
The context of him petting jonathan is just funny to me that he was basically petting someone who older than himself.
Its like a kid who petting his dad 💀
By several orders of magnitude! That tortoise is probably older than this guys, great great great great grandfather.
Like petting great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather
this video made me feel happy
This is too cute! I love turtles!
Long live Jonathan
Happy birthday Mr Jonathan,
Can’t wait to meet Jonathon again next year… and sample your wonderful gin too !
How is he now? I am watching this video with my students in Poland now.
That's super cool!
Amazing! I wish we humans could live to that age...
Humans.... They be living 60-70, year's then they be counting the days when they die i think it better the way it is now.. life would be much harder for us then imagine living 50-60 years while you can't walk properly or see
He's a big lap turtle, he was coming in for a hug!
Unless protect & love all animals & their habitat, environment, we don't have another world to see them
Just knowing he existed when Andrew Jackson was in office and still going strong is absolutely incredible hope to many more years of living god bless Johnathan
Born 11 years after Napoleon's death!
Oh bless him🐢🐢❤️
Johnathan is so smart and relaxing 🐢✨
Jonathan look's fantastic
This turtle was born when France occupied Algeria in the year 1830. It was not far from Napoleon. This turtle was actually born in a world where there were no cars, as the carriages were mangy with horses and witnessed the Prussian-French War.
Happy birthday, Jonathan👍🍷👋🙂❤
That boy is probably worth millions. Id love to see a long documentary on him snd his past that would be an amazing documentary.
Distinguished gentleman 👏
Fencing him in the paddock probably stopped him wandering for the food he needed including the fallen fruit. Good that his diet has been looked at and improved.
Absolutely amazing. 😍
Some Greenland sharks are probably older. There was also a 500 year old clam. Unfortunately, they had to kill the clam just to find out how old it was.
It’s the oldest living land animal, there are other animals that are much older
What an amazing video!
Amazing ❤
I just can't believe there is an animal what's been living since 1833 on this Earth right now
Great Grandpa Jonathan ❤
Great story this one - Jonathan is very wealthy too and has a great house/land. Great he is looked after so well.
He seems quite friendly
He’s about as old as the Industrial Revolution, serves as a good benchmark for how long humans have really transformed the planet.
Dude was in St.Helena 10 years after Napoleon.
Well done Joe! A great story told......
That Englishman has the best job in the world.
I wonder how long a Coelacanth can live for.
So cute!
I can't imagine the world at his first year
"Back in my day..."
Imagine! "The Chronicles of Jonathan".
I came here after seeing prince edward looking amazed in front of this tortoise
he was born 10 years after napoleon died in the same location he would call home for 140 years
The fact that an animal who was alive at the same time as Lincoln is still alive now is just crazy.
He saw American civil war, WW1, WW2, Vietnam, 9/11, Iraq War, Obama😂
The way jonathan looks at him 😂
I wish He was friends with Adwaita, if they could communicate with eachother, imagine the amazing stories they'll tell eachother about their life. RIP Adwaita 😢
The turtle looks younger than him 😂😂😂
🎵 Who wants to live forever 🎵
Very cool😮
Is an animal as old as him able to feel that same age pain we do?
He could almost remember Napoleon.
Amazing
Happy bday to the homie. I'm not sure if this reminds me more of JJBA Phantom Blood or Golden Wind
He was alive during the Alamo.
He was born 4 years before the beginning of the VICTORIAN AREA 😮
