Deinosuchus (/ ˌ d aɪ n ə ˈ sj uː k ə s /) is an extinct genus of alligatoroid crocodilian, related to modern alligators and caimans, that lived 82 to 73 million years ago (Ma), during the late Cretaceous period.
Deinosuchus (fossil specimen), one of the largest crocodilians to ever exist. The giant prehistoric caiman, Purussaurus, from northern South America during the Miocene epoch grew up to 9–10 m (30–33 ft) long and could weigh up to 8 tonnes, making it one of the largest crocodilians ever.
Deinocheirus was an unusual ornithomimosaur, the largest of the clade at 11 m (36 ft) long, and weighing 6.5 t (7.2 short tons). Though it was a bulky animal, it had many hollow bones which saved weight. The arms were among the largest of any bipedal dinosaur at 2.4 m (7.9 ft) long, with large, blunt claws on its three-fingered hands.
A pair of researchers with the University of Iowa decided to re-examine existing fossils of the Deinosuchus, a prehistoric ancestor of crocodiles and alligators estimated to be about 33-feet-long ...

Jonathan has long surpassed that. However, he’s not the oldest known giant tortoise that ever lived. Adwaita the Aldabra Giant Tortoise living in India is thought to have lived to be 255 years old.
