Oldest chelonian

According to Official Guinness Records,

The greatest authentic age recorded for a chelonian is at least 188 years, by a Madagascar radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) that was presented to the Tonga royal family by Captain Cook in either 1773 or 1777. The animal was called Tui Malila and remained in their care until its death in 1965.
