'Jonathan (hatched c. 1832) is a Seychelles giant tortoise that lives on the island of Saint Helena, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. Jonathan was brought to the island from the Seychelles in 1882, along with three other tortoises at about 50 years of age. He was named in the 1930s by Governor Sir Spencer Davis. He continues to live in the grounds of Plantation House, the official Governor's residence' Wikipedia. I was lucky enough to spend 6 weeks feeding Jonathan.
