Jonathan the Giant Tortoise proof of life! [View all]






I apologize for sharing the post about his alleged death, but it shows how scary our media has become. The story was reported as true by USAToday and the BBC, outfits you expect to do due dilligence before publishing. I expect reporting on breaking news will become harder to take at face value

And, YAY! Jonathan lives on!
