Reports of the death of Jonathan, the world’s oldest living land animal, have been greatly exaggerated. Jonathan, a nearly 200-year-old tortoise, is still alive on the island of St. Helena. News of his alleged passing spread rapidly on social media on April Fool’s Day. An account falsely claiming to be a veterinarian announced the tortoise’s death, gathering nearly 2 million views. The real veterinarian later clarified it was a hoax aimed at soliciting crypto donations. Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise, is listed by Guinness World Records as the oldest living land animal.
