[@AdamAddictL]

Maybe 200-something? Even for a land reptile,I just don’t see him,or ANY other reptile living CLOSE to 300,much less 400…..unless it’s possible for them to live to near 300???

[@xenobreyden]

Why?

Not crazy as in being insane, crazy as in being out of the ordinary. Example "You ran 60 miles in 1 day? That's crazy!" It's a exclamation of surprise and being impressed.@@moonshoes11

Jonathon was around during the Rocky Mountain fur-trapping era of the early 1800s. He lived to see the entire West become civilized by Europeans. And now, he's living during the age of the internet. What a legend.

[@carloscoll5249]

He is still hungry after all these years😂

[@isaiahjones3427]

[@davisdenver6756]

Jonathon was possibly alive during the lifetime of James Madison, the last-surviving founding father of the United States.

[@crystalm4324]

Amazing, I’m glad that his life has been so meticulously documented over the years. Nothing like proving those rabbits wrong!!

[@Frenite]

The tortoise was not born during the reign of Queen Victoria. Victoria became Queen in 1837 and this tortoise was born in 1832 during the reign of King William IV.

[@Neuwey331]

The earliest known photograph of Jonathan was when he was only 50 years old.

[@llSuperSnivyll]

Actually it's hatched no later than 1832. He was full-sized (which for his species means 50+ years old) in 1882, so there's the chance he's even older than that.

[@mikaroni_and_cheez]

​@@llSuperSnivyll turns out you just need a good diet, good people, and a wickedly slow metabolism to live for centuries!

[@SirAbyss]

He was in his 30s when American slavery was abolished and turned 100 a few years before WWII started. Absolutely insane!

[@AdamAddictL]

Well *technically* it’s same family….”tortoise” is more or less a short way to say “land only turtle” ….sort of like how we still technically call dolphins and whales “fish” even though they’re mammals that need air time to time,,,,,but I get your meaning!!

In Russia we studying only turtle word on foreign language lessons.
