There's a 193-Year-Old tortoise on the British island of Saint Helena, where Napoleon was exiled to in 1815. Shortly after Napoleon's exile, a tortoise was born on the island of Seychelles and brought to Saint Helena at 50 years old in 1882 where he continues to live to this day. He has outlived 7 British monarchs and outlasted 31 of the island's governors. But what is most amazing is the kinds of things that happened in the world during his life.
