The actual vet who cares for Jonathon said not only is this false but this Twitter phony impersonating him is asking for crypto donations. Booooo! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/04/01/jonathan-oldest-tortoise-dies-st-helena/89424376007/

Yeah I was just talking to one of my kids about it and she mentioned that whoever the actual veterinarian is, does not have social media, and says that Jonathan is still doing well.

Im glad to hear that, honestly. I hope Jonathan outlasts 2026. He is too pure.

Jonathan still lives and will likely outlive all of us
