Europe’s oldest tree is a Bosnian Pine that took root in 941 AD, at the time Vikings were still invading. “I don’t know why they get as old, but I hope someone will find out,” Nielsen said. Methuselah, however, is still believed to be the longest living tree without a Clonal Colony. Lowe, in an email, said “the rule of thumb is deep and cold = old when it comes to fishes.” The cold water and the slow metabolism that comes with it might have something to do with their long lives, Nielsen said. Prior to Ming the clam ‘s demise in 2006, it was the oldest living animal in the world. Greenland sharks love cold water - preferring temperatures near freezing - and are all over the Arctic. He wasn’t part of the study, but praised it as creative and compelling. While not surprised that Greenland sharks live a long time, “I’m really shocked by the magnitude of that longevity,” wrote Christopher Lowe, director of the shark lab at California State University Long Beach. They are generally healthy, but this breed is still prone to heart and eye problems. Even tiny dogs require plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and training. In general, humans age a lot slower than animals, but primates like monkeys, chimpanzees, apes, etc.
She lived to be 53 years and passed away from heart trouble in March 2005. Many survive past 15 years, with some living as long as 20 years. I learned that the world’s oldest monkey is believed to be a black spider monkey called Buenos. An ocean quahog, a clam, lived 507 years and two different types of sponges are said to survive for 15,000 and 1,500 years. The chihuahua is one of the longest-lived dog breeds. Some animals without backbones live longer. “But the study is convincing enough for us to say that these animals live way longer than human beings and possibly longer than any other vertebrate,” said Magalhaes, who runs the longevity database and wasn’t part of Nielsen’s team. Joao Pedro Magalhaes, a University of Liverpool aging researcher, said because the study is based on an indirect measurement he wouldn’t necessarily concentrate on exact numbers, especially when they exceed 400 years, where the upper end of the margin of error goes.
