These Are The Longest-Living Life-Forms On Earth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2017
- What is the true longest-living life-form? Tortoises, whales, and trees are all likely to be the winners. However, some microscopic species are the answer for this. They have been alive since before humans even existed - that's more than 200,000 years ago. Following is a transcript of the video.
If you think living to 100 is impressive, think again.

there's a jellyfish that will just keep making itself younger everytime it's old
Whats the name?

Please use another word I don't like it
What about the immortal jellyfish?
wanted know bout that too xdd
Jellyfish lifespans typically range from a few hours (in the case of some very small hydromedusae) to several months; there are some indications that deep sea species may live on the order of years. Life span varies by species. Most large coastal jellyfish live 2 to 6 months, during which they grow from a millimeter or two to many centimeters in diameter.
Aquarium jellyfish that are carefully tended, fed daily even when food might be seasonally rare in the wild, and sometimes treated with antibiotics if they develop infections, may live several years, though this would be very unusual in the wild.
An unusual species, Turritopsis dohrnii, formerly classified as T. nutricula. might be effectively immortal because of its ability under certain circumstances to transform from medusa back to the polyp stage, thereby escaping the death that typically awaits medusae post-reproduction if they have not otherwise been eaten by some other ocean organism. So far this reversal has been observed only in the laboratory. At least one professor at the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory at Kyoto University in Japan has concluded that there are three species of jellyfish that are immortal.
its called Turritopsis Dohrnii
lennert stam are turtles the only animals that eat jellyfish?

PrimeKnight Till paper covered the poor thing.
PrimeKnight that's not a pet
PrimeKnight Your rock can't be your pet and yes, there's a chance that it will live for over 500 years.
Lenny Guy I hope you're not serious. If you were smart, you would know that I was joking about having a pet rock lol.
Well for a human being, reaching 100 years old is pretty impressive.
ffs stop blazing ...no.
Moll HD Say that again after you pass 100.. good luck
At that point, the human life expectancy will be way over 100 years, so it won't be special at all to turn 100.
Moll HD I wouldnt be too sure about that. Youre still born in
Antton Well, Look what he's saying:

Yeah, but can it survive long before getting sick or falling to a predator? Maybe they don't live long despite their rejuvenation thingy.

How could you guys forget about the immortal jellyfish? Those things can live forever!
Yes they can but I personally believe they were not included because I don’t think any individual has lived long enough to be included on the list
Me: - takes off spine and shrinks - I’ve become immortal!
Shoutout to my man Jonathan, keepin' it real since 1832
Lobsters never die tho, they only die when humans kill them
T H I C C, they do die. They just never stop growing until death.
they reset life bro like the Jellyfish, they live "technically die" and live again! like Valhalla!
AnimeBanz yeah like Mr. Krabbs!
T H I C C not try actually
So they don't die when other animals eat them?
Bacteria : I'm the oldest being in the world!
Water : Are you sure about that?

Ok ty for that now i added it

Didn't got it😕
You've missed "water bears" a life form recently found which can even survive space and has a super low metabolic rate.
Miyuru Weerarathna and the Alaskan bull worm lives until a rough estimate of 900000 years
This isn't something about who survives better but the life span
Miyuru Weerarathna yea
Miyuru Weerarathna water bears have been discoveres for decades

He protecc
He atacc
But most importantly...
He bite you in your bacc
I'm surprised the immortal jellyfish wasn't on the list because the immortal jellyfish actually can technically live forever because when it's supposed to quote on quote die of old age it actually starts its life over again over and over again so it technically lives forever unless eaten
Wow I liked the ad in the beginning like you really need inspirational quotes to deadlift 135lbs
Very nice Finding!
it probably has to do with how quick our body works, the bigger our body is, the more strain u r putting towards ur organs (They need to work overtime) this is why bigger things tend to have lower span of life.
Lel my tortoise is 234 Years old and that’s true WTF thought they live longer
I killed him.
Wait how did u know???
How do u know?
"Your" tortoise is 234 Years old? So that means that you have been alive for more that 200+ years?

No, it was maybe owned by someone else before, or its age was found out in another way
Ummmmm excuse me?

Thanks for the great video
But what about eternal jellyfish
It do not die of old at all.......
It dies due to disease or being eaten

the winner isn't that bacteria assuming that we even don't know 10% of the life forms in the oceans, there must be another life form!
Immortal jellyfish?
Hypothetical
i think its true, just that they get eaten
The true winner
How about the ImMorTaL JeLLyFiSh?

well said - Lol 😄 there's a lot to be sad about this. Interesting facts and observations. now it comes down to incorporating such traits in our own. The task easier said than done but not far. Good video. like it👍.
I remember the age of all the living things in your video, but I can't remember a minute of history class 😂
Me: *cough cough*
Me also: is an earth a living thing?
I mean, it carry’s living and non living things, it can also be dead-
...
me: SO ITS EARTH!
Earth is just a combination of materials put together that just so happens to be forming in the right conditions for a planet and life.
That’s not how it works
Bro these bacteria bois lived 500,000 years just to get me sick🤔🤣
thanks for make subtitles
TECH INSIDER is one of the best channel😃😃😃
Surprised you didnt mention some species of jellyfish who are essentially immortal and can enter a previous stage in their life cycle to de age themselves.
Aspen stands! so old we can't accurately determine it's age.
At 0:33 it shows the Galapagos tortoise in the middle of the Atlantic. The Galápagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean, and are a part of Ecuador, which is in South America, not off of the coast of Africa.
Edit: After further research, I found that this tortoise is from Seychelles, though he currently lives in Saint Helena, in the south Atlantic.
I believe jellyfish lives forever
What about the white walkers?
You forgot tardigrades
Hi what software are using for this animations?
What do you use for editing?
It is just sad that all these beautiful creatures and life forms will be destroyed by the ignorant and selfish cruelty of human beings
Why assume that that'll happen?
Because the damage we casued in recent years is so much greater than any period of time in the history of planet Earth
The sun will eat us all eventually,, so it doesn't matter. Yeah it sucks!
Brian Antonio Im pretty sure its called evolution. We all die and theres nothing we can do about it.
hurr durr humans are bad
Imagine living through an entire century.
Nice sir
We can’t forget the extinct species either, my favorite dinosaur the brachiosaurus could live up to 200 years about the same as a tortoise
How about Tardigrada?
Dhani desu yeah I was thinking the same thing, can't they live in space and not eat for an entire lifetime
“Old” doesn’t really begin to cover it. Scientists estimate that tardigrades have been around for 600 million years. To put that in perspective: Dinosaurs first appeared about 230 million years ago, which makes T. rex and friends the new kids on the block. So what now?
Junsi27 Chin no that’s ho long it can go without water, the oldest one ever recorded was 203
You didn't mention a type of jellyfish that can live for ever
That’s was I was gonna say
Yeah I was gonna say that
it can do so only untill its not killed and so far no jellyfish had been able to do it......
Hannah McPherson
Single cell organisms can also live for ever, if they aren't eaten or something
Ya it lives and dies like forever...
There’s a yellyfish which can make old cells young and live forever, so that’s the true winner
That video reminds me of my History exam I have to study
god will be a life in foreever
I want to be a bacteria now

I know a literal living jellyfish that can turn itself young again so it’s practically immortal
Wait wait wait so I don’t need a spine so I can live longer? OKAY LEMME TAKE IT OUT
The longest living life forms on earth is earth😂
Wut?
What about the octopus and the lobster which are considered to be immortal? They'll never die unless killed. They say.
Jezzca Gevila dont forget Starfish or lizards
Good theme for an illustrated animated video.
In 1993 I've met Ms Jeanne Calment in Italy; who told me that she impressed herself by surpassing her older sister that got up to 97 years of life. In reality Ms J. Calment lived for up to 107 years. Which is pretty good, considering that only quite recently -> Real global food safety as been obtained.
By the end of this video, any sense of veracity is thrown away; by the speculation of numbers at random.
Here goes some better accurate facts about long age life beings on Earth:
1st. The older trees that I've seen were a group of North -American Sequoias, that have about 3k years of age, each. Yet, the older tree that I've seen is a African Imbomdeiro ( Baobab), with 4k years of age.
2nd. The mentioned video should have made a few honorable mentions to: the small group of Pacific Box-Jelyfish that have roaming the sea for more than 300 years in age. And to a group of Welwitschia mirabilis semi-desertic plants, from which the youngest individual is at least 700 years old.
That 43,000 year old tree one was a stretch. Technically it should be listed as 300 years old as each "clone" is a new plant..
You forgot my stupidity!
Deadass
The jellyfish is immortal 😂
i read in the paper the other day they have found a greenland shark that is 512 years old how cool is that

And live for a least 10 years.
Humans run..
And live for 100 years.

*And live for fricking 180 years.*
There is a species of jellifish that can live up to basicly forever becuase not even a single one died yet
Actually, the new oldest person, was 165, but he died a few months ago

Joseph Abraham lol we literally have a full culture from Mesopotamia that goes back at least 12000 years. You might as well say that the Earth didn't exist until you were born. At least in that case you'd be clever.
