What about that clam that could live for 500 years? I know Ming probably was the only recorded specimen with that lifespan, but there could be older living clams out there.
I'm glad you can see past the age difference between Henry and his girlfriend, as you correctly pointed out he's doing it for the survival of his species after all🤣🤣🤣 Excellent video as always. Thank you☺
I've always been fascinated by the Bowhead Whale ever since I saw a documentary on them when I was a kid. One was once found with a 130 year old harpoon head embedded in its neck. Definitely my favourite cetacean.
While not a super long time, these seem unexpectedly long: 20+ years - some porcupines and squirrels, chinchilla, platypus, Wombat, pigs (some), some scorpions, axolotl, some frogs, fur seal, giraffe 25+ years - emus and vultures (varies) Tarantulas (Varies), Toucan 30+ years - ostriches, echidnas, queen ants (some), horseshoe crab, bald eagle, grizzly bear, walrus, ravens (some), paddlefish 40+ years - cassowaries, toads, horned owl, rhino, 50+ years - termite queens, salamandars (some), macaw, european pond turtle 70+ years - albatross, condor, elephant, 100+ years - spider crabs, lobsters 200+ years - Rougheye rockfish, koi (some), freshwater pearl mussels, deep sea tube worms, Bowhead whales (and their Barnacles! their barnacles live as long as they do!) Black coral - 4000+ years (it is a colony though; scientists disagree if a polyp is considered a single organism or if the whole genetically identical colony is better described as the animal) Immortal (could theoretically live forever) - hydras, immortal jellyfish, planarian flatworm, sea anemone, Bdelloid Rotifers (don't ask), tardigrades, amoebas (if we count them as animals) freshwater sponges, antarctic icefish (maybe), some corals (maybe), and potentially, lobsters again (though never observed much older than a hundred). weird honerable mention - the pygmy mouse has the highest life to bodywieght ratio at up to 200 years per kg!!! lives only around 2 years, but that's massive; house mouse is about 100 years, for same lifespan, and rat is 15 years per kg only. some other honerable mentions by body-weight ratio: Marmoset - 15ish years - up to 64 years per kg Chinchilla - 20ish years - up to 50 years per kg Kinkajou (a possummy monkey thing) - 20+ years - up to 25 years per kg Cat - 15 - 30 years - up to 6 years per kg And bunches and bunches of parrot and albatross species, plus some ravens And there are some incredibly long-lived fungi; not really animals, though.

And it will be worse if the parrot already too attached to his/her dead owner and never trained to interact with other people, make adoption to other family become more difficult
Budgies don't often live past 12 years. Cockatiels don't live much longer, nor Lovebirds, Kakariki, or Rose-ring Parakeets. It's generally great advice to not give anyone any animal unless discussed prior
@@jakeholland8083 I think because that longevity combined with small size make them a better pet in general. Larger cockatoo and macaw maybe look more dramatic and cooler but their size make them more difficult to control, not counting with long lifespan, they can outlived their owner and the caring task must be transferred to someone
Lobsters that die naturally only die because they get to a point where they can't shed their shells anymore. If they could there's no telling how long they can live.
Tuatara are the best. There was a running joke in NZ when I was a kid about the ones at the zoo being fake cos you never saw them move. We have a lot of cool animals, just sucks about the introduced predators. Thankfully we have a lot of predator free islands and our sanctuary Zealandia to increase numbers of our endangered babies.
Here's a little information that I've recently learned about the sulfur crested cockatoo, is that there is a population of them on the island of Komodo with Komodo dragons
Can you imagine if us humans had gestation periods that long? Oh my goodness! Our population would never be able to recover if we were affected by something bad (like a plague or a war)!
The Rock fishes could potentially be on this list! They look so ordinary but surprisingly live for decades! Compare that to the average clownfish lifespan of about 8 years, meanwhile, the rougheye rock fish lives for about 205 years! Or more! Fish are just so interesting and come into alot of varieties!
I know that people from Iceland think otherwise (sorry for saying), but believe me, most of us don't miss out a lot by not eating Greenland shark. It was one of the grossest things I have ever eaten
I think it might be worth mentioning the Andean condor. I believe they are the record holder is zoos for birds. One at Beardsley Zoo lived to 79 years old and Andy N. Condor of Tracy Aviary lived to 64 years old.
We had another crocodile attack fatality in northern Australia this year. Unfortunately the trail the bloke was walking on gave way and the croc in the water below took him.
If it wasn't for the oldest salt water crocodiles losing their teeth and eventually starving to death I swear those things could live forever, there was this one salty that everyone in a remote community my family worked in knew about. He'd been around for 4 generations and they knew it was the same one because he was jet black, was missing his front left leg, had a section of the mid line of his tail bitten off and had a big scar running down most of his top jaw. Only died because his teeth fell out.
Very interesting stuff here even not related to the longevity. Great video There are some more obscure animals that would be great in another video. Naked mole rats can live well over 30 years, which is unbelievable for a rodent. Most spiders hardly live a few years, but many (female) tarantulas live for more than ten years, and the record-holder, a female trapdoor spider in Australia, was over 40 years old! There is a small, common shark called the spiny dogfish that can live to be over 50 years old; this is rare for such a small animal (only 2-3 feet). The oldest flamingo on record was over 80 years old! His name was Greater, and he was once badly beaten by some teenagers but recovered; the teenagers were caught but never prosecuted. Not relevant but it made me so angry I had to share. And finally (though there are doubtless many other good examples), two separate unrelated medium-sized red fish, the rockfishes (Sebastes) and the orange roughy, can live to over 100 or even over 200 years!
life expectancy in a given species is determined largely by a lack of predation...the presence of predators reduces evolutionary pressure for greater longevity...a sea urchin is very well protected, so it has evolved a much longer life expectancy...
As a Packers fan and an Aaron Rodger's fan for my whole life, i don't disagree too much with this rating, I wouldn't have them this high, but yeah I'm probably just a homer as Marcus has admitted to, but I will never doubt that man IF HEALTHY to do what mainstream media seems to think is the impossible, he's done it before. A lot of the mainstream media has them missing the playoffs they must be hoping he doesn't hold up and is injured/aged, cause I don't see it otherwise.
What about that clam that could live for 500 years? I know Ming probably was the only recorded specimen with that lifespan, but there could be older living clams out there.
yeah you're right there are a few clams that can live for centuries :)
@@TsukiCove just like my grandma
He stated "Vertebrates", clams are not Vertebrates.
it’s possible that older clams could be found. advances in techniques for aging and studying these organisms may lead to new records!
@@ChonkersCentralwho stated "vertebrates"? Jellyfish and anemones aren't vertebrates either, but were in the video
I'm glad you can see past the age difference between Henry and his girlfriend, as you correctly pointed out he's doing it for the survival of his species after all🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video as always.
Thank you☺
thanks i appreciate it :)
If you are above 100 i think hooking up with someone 30 or 40 years younger is fine 😊
I tried this argument on the judge - he wasn't impressed.
The longevity of the cockatoo blows my mind. I had no idea endothermic vertebrates could reach that kind of age.
They have a jacket of feathers so they’re more likely to overheat. But yes, it’s amazing
Could you make a video about animals that are smarter than you think? Just a consideration, ty!
You go to animal college? You know some shit. Nice.
Hyenas and monitor lizards should be on that list.
I’m always learning something new from your videos, thank you! And this topic was especially interesting!
thanks i really appreciate the support :)

weird honerable mention - the pygmy mouse has the highest life to bodywieght ratio at up to 200 years per kg!!! lives only around 2 years, but that's massive; house mouse is about 100 years, for same lifespan, and rat is 15 years per kg only.
some other honerable mentions by body-weight ratio:
Marmoset - 15ish years - up to 64 years per kg
Chinchilla - 20ish years - up to 50 years per kg
Kinkajou (a possummy monkey thing) - 20+ years - up to 25 years per kg
Cat - 15 - 30 years - up to 6 years per kg
And bunches and bunches of parrot and albatross species, plus some ravens
And there are some incredibly long-lived fungi; not really animals, though.

Love your videos ❤
Don't buy someone a parrot, any parrot, unless the giftee is young and highly motivated. They are very likely to outlive their owners.
And it will be worse if the parrot already too attached to his/her dead owner and never trained to interact with other people, make adoption to other family become more difficult
Budgies don't often live past 12 years. Cockatiels don't live much longer, nor Lovebirds, Kakariki, or Rose-ring Parakeets. It's generally great advice to not give anyone any animal unless discussed prior

Enjoy the style and substance of your videos
Lobsters that die naturally only die because they get to a point where they can't shed their shells anymore. If they could there's no telling how long they can live.
yes you are correct and thank you i really appreciate the support :)

We have a lot of cool animals, just sucks about the introduced predators. Thankfully we have a lot of predator free islands and our sanctuary Zealandia to increase numbers of our endangered babies.
Perhaps that was the key of their longevity; use very few energy, just chill without bothered much about other things
Yay the tuatara, thank you for including my favorite animal
Here's a little information that I've recently learned about the sulfur crested cockatoo, is that there is a population of them on the island of Komodo with Komodo dragons
Greenland sharks are pregnant for 8 TO 18 YEARS?!?
Can you imagine if us humans had gestation periods that long? Oh my goodness! Our population would never be able to recover if we were affected by something bad (like a plague or a war)!
Hopefully, that will happen. @@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore
talk about long term morning sickness. Sigh, we humans do nothing but complain.
The Rock fishes could potentially be on this list! They look so ordinary but surprisingly live for decades! Compare that to the average clownfish lifespan of about 8 years, meanwhile, the rougheye rock fish lives for about 205 years! Or more! Fish are just so interesting and come into alot of varieties!
Another animal that could be on the list is Bowhead Whales, they're the longest lived mammals and live 200< years.
I just love your content,keep up the good work.👍
thank you, will do :)
Always great Videos
thanks i appreciate it :)
I really enjoy your videos. 😊
thank i appreciate it :)
I enjoy watching your channel, thank you for the quality and meaningful content. 😊
Kākāpo are surprisingly long-lived birds too
yeah i almost included them, i think they live to around 80 if i remember correctly
Horseshoe crab maybe…. Fun video

A farmer in Australia is colloquially known as a 'cocky'.
Bowhead Whales, if I'm not mistaken, are the longest lived mammals on earth (that we know of).
i believe you are correct :)
1:03 aren’t they pets in someplaces 😂

Woho old living animals
Do Tuataras scavenge human trash since they are generalists that often consume insects attracted to decaying smell
8:09 That's what I said to the cops
Nah, Henry's a creep. Cancel him.
Can you please re-upload your old videos?🙏
Lobsters are biologically imortal
hey, arent you the guy who develops the game "the sapling"?
no i am not
glapagas tortus lives for 300 years !!!
Giant tortoises
Could you do which bear would win in a battle royal
Polar or Kodiak
Bowhead Whale 200 years.
Imagine waiting 150 years to get laid lol shark is a late bloomer fr fr
Common giant lobsters
I know i'm high and not the brightest, but am i the only one that couldn't get a time reference with all the exemples 🤔
I didn't know that Tuatara's are tapu
How could you forget the lobster? They are technically immortal.
As a Packers fan and an Aaron Rodger's fan for my whole life, i don't disagree too much with this rating, I wouldn't have them this high, but yeah I'm probably just a homer as Marcus has admitted to, but I will never doubt that man IF HEALTHY to do what mainstream media seems to think is the impossible, he's done it before.

Sea turtle
Sigma
So what.. catch the parrots as pets.. teach them to talk in the wild.. Say hello, I'm Hungry 😊
cool
The Turtles??
Hydra are immortal. And strawberry plants. I know, plants arent part of this.
Lobsters
Fun fact I will out live all the animals on the list
First!
nice one :)
Tsuki, You're awesome! Let's be friends, okay?
I want that gene 🧬 lol
First!
Second!
