190-Year-Old #Tortoise Becomes the World’s #Oldest Living #Animal

Jonathan the tortoise has just recently passed his 190th birthday, making him the oldest animal currently alive. For the past 140 years, Jonathan has been living on the #amazing #island of #SaintHelena located in the #South #Atlantic #Ocean. The tortoise is so old that not even those who look after it are sure of its #history. Especially from 1900 to 1902 when Saint Helen became a camp for prisoners of war.

A Tortoise and Anhinga

A tale not yet written but ripe for a story! Want to write it?

It begins:
One sunny day a tortoise and an anhinga were both taking advantage of the sun, the anhinga drying his wings and tortoise napping.

It's what they do. "That was the end of the episode I watched, but it begs for a fable.... The tortoise safe in its shell and anhinga on its sunny branch soon ready for flight again. Said the tortoise, "?" Feel free... Neither one of them had much to say or tricks to play.
