Jonathan the tortoise,the world's oldest land animal,turned 190 over the weekend on the island of St.Helena,
where he enjoyed a "cake"of leafy greens,seasonal fruits and vegetables,including carrots carved into the
umber“190"
Jonathan was brought to St.Helena from the Seychelles in 1882 as a gift.According to Guinness World
Records,Jonathan surpassed the previous record holder.Tu'i Malila,who lived in the 1770s until 1965 and could
e even older.He arrived in St.Helena as a fully mature tortoise,meaning he was at least 50 in 1882.
"The vet is still feeding him by hand once a week to boost his calories,vitamins,minerals and trace elements.
as he is blind and has no sense of smell.His hearing.however,is excellent and he enjoys the company of humans.
and responds well to his vet Joe Hollins'voice as he associates him with a feast."Guinness World Records said.
"The tortoise enjoys the sun but on very hot days takes to the shade.On mild days,he will sunbathe his long
eck and legs stretched fully out of his shell to absorb heat and transfer it to his core,"says
Hollins.When it's cold,Jonathan has been known to"dig himself into leaf mold or grass cuttings and remain
there all day."
In most cases,the lifespan of a tortoise or turtle depends on the species and level of care they receive.
Generally.they live much longer in captivity than in the wild,because in the wild,they must find their own food
n addition to evading predators while not getting medical treatment.Larger turtle and tortoise species also tend to
ive longer than their smaller counterparts.Click here for more information about animal record holders.

For the past three decades,Richard Sears,aged 71,has been dedicated to one thing:telling the stories behind
Chinese characters.
His interest in Chinese language and characters dates back to 1972,when he was 22,majoring in physics at
Portland State University in Oregon."I realized only 7 percent of the world speak English as a mother tongue.I
wondered what it was like to speak another language."By 1990,Sears was already a fluent Chinese speaker,but
did not know how to read.To Sears.the characters were complex with many strokes (and almost no
apparent logic.
"I am a physicist,so I don't like blind memorization in learning languages.I knew that Chinese characters
came from pictographs(象t形文字)and I wanted to知ow the stories behind them."In the process of the study.
Sears soon realized that many of the explanations could not possibly be true.To pick out the good ones,he
decided to computerize the characters,and then scanned about 96,000 ancient characters.
The database of ancient characters came into being,but he wanted to explain the step-by-step evolvement of
these characters from the original pictographs to the modern simplified forms.He then got his website up in 2002
and named it Chinese Etymology(),where viewers can check for free the evolvement of Chinese characters
in various forms.Between 2002 and 2011,the website would get 11,000 or 15,000 hits a day.Suddenly,in January
2011,clicks to the website went up to 600,000 within one day.Overnight he became Uncle Hanzi,a nickname
given by Chinese netizens,after one of them shared his website on Chinese social media.
Besides the website,in September last year,Sears set up his studio,focusing on applying AR,animation and
artificial intelligence to telling stories of Chinese culture and character origins,in Nanjing as part of the local
authority's plan to cultivate talent in the culture sector."They have both entertainment value for the young and
educational value and can teach the origins of Chinese characters.We also want to make videos with a high
educational value for other platforms for Chinese and foreign learners of Chinese characters."Sears says.
