Between these two images of more than 130 years ... But you will not believe what they feature!

With this statement in full agreement, it is supposed to be the oldest in the world turtle named Jonathan. This champion of the world is moving slowly but surely. He overtake, or rather, survive many more of us.

This is a photo of Jonathan the tortoise made in 1902. And then he knocked as much as 70 years! B>

For the first time it took to himself as a pet in 1882. For turtles take about 50 years to reach the size of adult (adult Jonathan you can see in the photo 1902). B>

Although Jonathan was able to achieve such a record, it can not be considered representative of the oldest turtles in the history, since there were unconfirmed reports of old-timers, 250-year-old turtle from India.
