#Vertebrate #longevity: #Jonathan is a #Seychelles #gianttortoise (#Aldabrachelys #gigantea hololissa, #Testudinidae) and the #oldest surviving terrestrial animal. According to estimates, the tortoise hatched in 1832 at the latest, since it was brought to St. Helena in 1882 together with 3 other tortoises. At that time, Jonathan was fully sexually mature, which could be proven by a photo taken shortly after his arrival. In this species, sexual #maturity means at least 50 years old. In 2022 Jonathan celebrated his 190th birthday. According to his veterinarian, he is blind and his sense of smell has lost its function. However, he should still hear very well and interacts with other conspecifics. His two favorite females are (were) #Frederica and Emily. However, the responsible veterinarian found out in 2017 that Frederica is actually a male who has been called #Frederik ever since (happy pride month 🌈 dear Jonathan). Giant #tortoises reach a considerable #age because they have a particularly slow #metabolism and because of the vegetarian diet they consume little cholesterol and have hardly any predators. V. Quesada et al. (2019) searched the #genome of giant tortoises for evidence of their #longevity. The #researchers sequenced the genome of the deceased Galapagos giant tortoise "#LonesomeGeorge" (#Chelonoidis #abingdonii) and, for comparison, that of a Seychelles giant tortoise. The genes that are related to the regulation of metabolism were conspicuous. Other "abnormalities" include genes that repair DNA damage, genes that suppress cancer growth, and genes that affect the immune response. However, the authors cannot yet fully deduce the direct effects of these genomic abnormalities on the aging process. © This Twitter post (text) : #StefanFWirth Berlin 2023 Here is the article on the age of giant tortoises: https://t.co/03pPhjCa0G
