Some animals have lifespans that stretch far beyond human years. The bowhead whale, for example, can live over 200 years, making it the longest-living mammal. Giant tortoises can surpass 150 years, with some individuals recorded living over 180 years.
Other long-lived creatures include Greenland sharks, which can reach 400 years old, and deep-sea corals that have survived for thousands of years. These animals are living proof that longevity exists in the natural world.
