Best Answer

It’s a tortoise. He’s either 187 or 188. His name’s Jonathan.

He hatched in the Seychelles archipelago around 1832, and he moved to the island of St. Helena in 1882 (he was a gift to the governor), where he’s lived ever since.

He’s quite a guy. He’s older than cars and planes. He eats bananas, lettuce, and other fruits and vegetables. When World War I began, he was 82. He likes to listen to people play tennis.

Jonathan giant tortoise is currently believed to be the oldest current living land animal in the world. He was supposedly born in 1832 and brought to his current home on the island of Saint Helena from the Seychelles in 1882. Although his age is unverified, a picture of Jonathan from 1886 exists and shows that he was fully matured at the time the photo was taken.

The oldest living land animal is the Galapagos giant tortoise, which can live up to over 100 years old. There are some individual tortoises that have been estimated to be over 200 years old.

bowhead whales

Also known as the Arctic whale, the bowhead is by far the longest living mammal on Earth. Some bowhead whales have been found with the tips of ivory spears still lodged in their flesh from failed attempts by whalers 200 years ago. The oldest known bowhead whale was at least 211 years old.
