According to reports, the 344-year-old tortoise, named Jonathan, passed away on May 30, 2022, at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, Africa. Jonathan was considered the oldest-living land animal on record and was a symbol of conservation efforts.
Born in 1676, Jonathan had lived through centuries of human history, including the rise and fall of empires, wars, and technological advancements. He had also seen the transformation of the African savannah and the impact of human activities on the environment.
