Have you ever dreamt to find the fountain of youth? The good news: it does exist! The Bad news, it doesnt work on humans. A lucky few members of the animal kingdom have been selected to live very long lives. It is quite shocking to see how long some of these critters have survived on this planet.
Lets meet Jonathan. Jonathan is a Seychelles giant tortoise and it is estimated that he was born in 1832. That means he is now 187 years old! The oldest known living person was Jiroemon Kimura, a Japanese man who lived to be 116 years and 54 days old. Meaning Jonathan the Tortoise is already 71 years older than the oldest human!
