Reminds me of this picture of Jonathan (on the left, over 50 years old at the time) in 1886, who's still kickin' it at over 190:

His mate is named Frederika and she was born in 1991. Does that make him a dirty old man?

Nah, what's a little January 1st - December 31st romance?

The sex of Frederica, one of two of his favourite tortoises thought to be female (the other being Emily), as well as his companion since 1991, was cast into doubt in 2017 when island veterinarian Catherine Man indicated that due to a deformity of its plastron its sex could not be verified,[4] and is now known to be male, being renamed Frederik.[1] While Frederik was undergoing the examination, Jonathan came over and did not leave the side of Frederik and the veterinarian during the entire process.[13]

I have three Greek tortoises and I hope my son will continue to care for them after I'm gone. Barring any sudden illnesses or accidents they should outlive me by a few decades.
