Jonathan, a 193-year-old Seychelles giant tortoise, is alive and well on St. Helena, despite rumors of his death that emerged on April Fools' Day. These false reports were propagated by a social media post from an account impersonating veterinarian Joe Hollins, who has worked with Jonathan. The post claimed the tortoise had passed away, leading to an outpouring of condolences from the public, with nearly 2 million views. However, Hollins later clarified that he does not have an account on the platform and labeled the post as a hoax aimed at soliciting cryptocurrency donations. The St. Helena government confirmed Jonathan's well-being by sharing a recent photo of him roaming the governor's residence grounds. Jonathan was brought to St. Helena in 1882 and is known for outliving many historical events, including the exile and death of Napoleon Bonaparte on the island.
