( CNN) – The world’s oldest land animal is getting a series of celebratory stamps to mark its 190th birthday.
Authorities on the South Atlantic Island of St. Helena made the stamps for Jonathan– a huge tortoise.
Jonathan is likewise the face of St. Helena’s 5-cent coin.
According to Guinness World Records, Jonathan the tortoise is the oldest chelonian to ever live. He is thought to have actually been born around 1832.
The well-known turtle was given St. Helena from Seychelles in 1882.
