What do you think?
Is this tortoise
the same as this one?
A spokesman for the tourist board of St Helena, an island in the South Atlantic, said a photograph of the tortoise that was taken during the Boer War has been found.
Jonathan the tortoise is believed to be 176-years-old and was about 70 at the time the black and white picture was taken.
He was captured munching on grass in about 1900 with a captured Boer War prisoner in the background looking at him.
Today he lives with fellow land tortoises David, Speedy, Emma, Fredricka and Myrtle on a plantation owned by the St Helena government.
