The Longest Living Animals on Earth
Humans have a hard time wrapping their head around time, so it might be surprising to some that we don’t actually have the longest lifespans on earth. This entire list is actually sea-faring creatures, which makes sense. Yes, on land there are some animals that boast long lifespans such as the oldest tortoise which is 190 years old but none that make the list here.
Fun Fact: The Immortal Jellyfish and Hydra don’t show signs of deteriorating with age which is due to them being made up of stem cells which continually regenerate through duplication or cloning. They obviously don’t live forever due to natural conditions which have predators and disease. Or reverting back into previous stages of life if they are physically starving or injured.
