I posted a photo several years ago of Jonathan with some children taken in 1948, and an explanation of how I came to have it-the thread is there still, called A photo of Jonathan, the oldest tortoise in the world.

Thankfully it seems like it isn't true:

World's oldest known tortoise, Jonathan, still alive despite reports of death

A widely circulated social media post purporting to belong to the tortoise's vet has been revealed to be a hoax.

Thank you SO MUCH, for addressing this, I think I can say for all of us, were relieved it is NOT true.
Long Live Johnathan!
