This tortoise is a literally example of "Back in my day..."

He was actually there?

That’s a lot of living! It’s amazing how long tortoises live.

Lol I pictured the tortoise with a helmet and bayonet. Victory!!

Seen off?

Yeah. He even has an Instagram. TortoiseWithThumbs.

(He does not. This is my tort’s. I just simply saw a good way to plug it)

He experienced 'shell shock.'

Would went if I was still on Instagram

It’s my understanding Jonathan is something of a celebrity on St Helena

So he also saw the German Empire, Ottoman Empire, the Japanese Empire, the Autro-Hungarian Empire, and many others

I hope this becomes a new meme format

There’s a common element to all of those things and it’s the bloody tortoise isn’t it!

Plot twist: its called Elisabeth

He is hanging on for the third world war

The greatest generation

Definitely saw him on the beach of Normandy. /s

He may be the last person alive who was born before the internet

Jokes on him. He is still on British colonial territory.
