The World's Oldest Land Animal Gets His First Bath After 184 Years

If you haven't bathed in a few days, don't feel too bad about it.

Jonathan, the world's oldest living land creature, hasn't had a bath for the first 184 years of his life. Until now.

The tortoise, who lives on the British territory of St. Helena, got a nice scrubbing from a local vet in preparation for a visit with the royals.

It may have taken a loofah, brush and surgical soap, but Jonathan is finally sparkly clean for the first time in almost two centuries.
