I thought I recall reading in the Guiness book of World Records about 35 years ago that some variety of pine in the California mountains lived something like 6000 years but Wikipedia says more like 5000 years.

That would be a plant, but if you look at it that way, rocks are the oldest thing on the earth.

I think Danny from Wais comes 5th on the list with an impressive age of around 175 years old. He even looks like the turtle

longevity
who really knows how long they live. Mankind has only been keeping records for only a couple hundred years. I've seen sturgeons caught over 7 feet long, almost 1500 lbs. They said that one was probably over 200 years old. I'm sure there are even bigger ones that have never been caught yet. ( older means wiser I guess) How long does a shark live? ( given ideal ecological conditions) Sharks are the only animal that doesn't get cancer, so theoretically, shouldn't die of old age.
