- Age is just a number!
At 190 years old Jonathan the Giant Tortoise has been enjoying peaceful St Helena Island since 1882 and is still going strong.
This weekend our national treasure will celebrate his birthday in style with a 3-day celebration with the people of St Helena and lots of his favourite treats.
Join in with the celebrations on our Facebook page! - don’t miss the livestream on Saturday 3rd December 11am - 4pm GMT
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.
🤣
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
Wow nice calculation. Thnx.
bro lived through slavery and didn’t do anything 😡😡😡😡☝️🤓
❤
@FatDonut, anyone using the word "bro" shouldn't be saying anything about anything.
ok bro@@davidrichter9164
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😂😂
We should all be like Jonathan, he has a totally care free existence. Amazing creature.
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.
@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.
Domain expansion: Infinite Void
he seen a lot of grass, some fruits and vegetables and maybe a few female tortoises back in his prime
He surpassed two world war, he was a legend in 1945 already
What about 3
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
He’s such a cute guy, here’s to another 50 years hopefully! ❤
Happy birthday Jonathan May God Bless and has AMAZING 👏 🙏🏻 BORN AROUND 1832!
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.
u really cute as well sister 😘
God is Great isn't he
Bless Johnathan and give him many more happy years! 💕
Born around 1832 wow!! Such a cute and chilled living turtle
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
@@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.
We're living with dinosaurs right now.
@@yeti3994yes the bird
Happy birthday sir Johnathan!!!
May you celebrate many more years
Bless the people who care for this great beast. Happy late birthday Jonathan!!!
Here’s to 200!
To think he was there eating grass when all those evens were taking place, just unbelievable
He looks like he wants to climb into the gent's lap! What a lovely, gentle creature.
Thanks to the vet and I wish the couple many good years together. Greetings from Berlin
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
Incredible! He's literally been around for everything notable in the modern era.
Happy birthday, Jonathan!
Johnathan is so smart and relaxing 🐢✨
Born 11 years after Napoleon's death!
🫶🏽🫶🏽♥️🐢Jonathan, blessings sweetheart!♡♡♡
Much love to my tortoise brudda! Stay strong old man, from Jonathon to Jonathan :D
🎉🎉🎉 Happy Birthday, Jonathan 🎊🎊🎊 Your existence is a blessing to this world.
This guy is so lucky. I'd love to chill with Johnathan
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
I just lost my turtle yesterday evening😢 i really loved her😭
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.
He looks great, I am so happy he is being so well cared for.
Unless protect & love all animals & their habitat, environment, we don't have another world to see them
Jonathan has seen the complete family hierarchy of the people whom he met... 🙌🙌🙌
I just can't believe there is an animal what's been living since 1833 on this Earth right now
I can't imagine the world at his first year
He's on my 'bucket list'....what a gorgeous torti❤
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.
What a beautiful animal! Great story!
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!!!!!!!
just read that Jonathan has turned 191. amazing! he might outlive many of us as well :)
What an awesome chilled creature.
What a beautiful creature!
Wonderful tortoise :) May he have many more years to come! 🤗
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😂
Many more happy returns Jonathan🙏🏼
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!
He is beautiful. God Bless him
OMG - so cute these two individuals who know and like each other 🥰
Absolutely amazing. 😍
That Englishman has the best job in the world.
Amazing ❤
What an amazing video!
Wow! Really great to see these magnificent creatures! Great video thanks!
He’s about as old as the Industrial Revolution, serves as a good benchmark for how long humans have really transformed the planet.
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
He's a big lap turtle, he was coming in for a hug!
Wow..... I hope someday meet u Jonathan
Well done Joe! A great story told......
Happy birthday Jonathan, from Vietnam
Sir John, O.B.E., is a smashing bloke!
This is too cute! I love turtles!
Amazing
this video made me feel happy
That's super cool!
happy birthday and many morex
Such a wonderful tortoise.
Dude was in St.Helena 10 years after Napoleon.
So cute!
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.
Jonathan look's fantastic
Happy birthday Mr Jonathan,
Happy birthday, Jonathan👍🍷👋🙂❤
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
"Back in my day..."
Great story this one - Jonathan is very wealthy too and has a great house/land. Great he is looked after so well.
Oh bless him🐢🐢❤️
Very cool😮
jonathan is 191 today and he was on CNN 10 today
🎵 Who wants to live forever 🎵
He seems quite friendly
Remember what Oogway says: "There are no accidents!" even tho Master Oogway is 190 year old wise turtle.
How is he now? I am watching this video with my students in Poland now.
Distinguished gentleman 👏
Imagine! "The Chronicles of Jonathan".
He could almost remember Napoleon.
Long live Jonathan
Great Grandpa Jonathan ❤
I came here after seeing prince edward looking amazed in front of this tortoise
Jonathan is like a vampire outliving everyone.
Praise the LORD for creating this tortoise.
The genus of him emerged 150 and 200 Million years ago!
@matthiasredler5760 lol is that what they tell you? They can make up any big number and you'll believe it.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 No its Math and i worked in geogoly as a student and measure up relics that are bilions of years old. I don´t need to believe it when i can measure and prove it up by myself... so sorry for that!
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
The turtle looks younger than him 😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️
Thank for sharing. We all need luv . ❤️
😍
It's ok. It takes roughly 500 years for Godzilla to be made. He's almost halfway there.
The way jonathan looks at him 😂
He is definitely Master Oguay
So basically how is a turtle doing at 190 years old: doing what a turtle does 👍🏻
Is an animal as old as him able to feel that same age pain we do?
He was born 4 years before the beginning of the VICTORIAN AREA 😮
