The claim
A picture claims to depict Jonathan, a tortoise born in 1832, five years prior to the coronation of Queen Victoria. Posts sharing the picture state that Jonathan is due to turn 190 years old in 2022, making him the oldest-known land animal alive today.
Rating
The visual including the claim is false. The picture shows ‘A11’ — a half-century-old Galápagos Giant Tortoise who lives in Australia — not Jonathan, the oldest-known land animal alive today
