10 most endangered animals on the planet

Rare people reach the age beyond 100, but in the animal world, there are species of hundreds, even thousands of years like turtles, sea urchins, sponges .

List of the longest living animals on the planet

As the highest level of evolution of evolution, mankind increasingly improves life expectancy. However, in the natural world, there are many champions of age who don't know when people can "take over".

10. Large native saltwater oysters in Puget Sound

Their lifespan is at least 160 years. Their characteristic long 'necks' or water spouts can be more than one meter long. In some places, this species is also known as the elephant elephant.

9. Tuatara lizard

Tuatara lizards exist to this day as the remaining member of the vigorous species 200 million years ago on Earth. They are vertebrates, life can be up to 200 years.

8. Pipe worms Vestimentiferan

This mollusk lives in a protective shell and stays fixed for the rest of its life. The Vestimentiferan worm has a body length of up to 3m and often lives in very large groups, which can reach thousands. They live in the Gulf of northern Mexico, which is more than 750m below sea level. Pipe worms Vestimentiferan grow very slowly, often they can live longer than 250 years.

7. Red sea urchin

Red sea urchins are only found in the Pacific Ocean, along the west coast of North America. This species lives in shallow water, with a depth of 90m. They move by using stilts like stilts. The lifespan of the species is over 200 years.

6. Antarctic whale

Being the longest living mammal in the world, Antarctic whales can live up to 211 years old. Scientists have found with ivory marks still stuck in their flesh during a hunt 200 years ago.

5. Koi carp

Only aquarium fish live in artificial rock pools, but Japanese carp (Koi) can live up to 200 years old. The oldest known fish, Hanako, died on July 7, 1977 at the age of 226.

4. Turtle

The oldest living vertebrate in the world, turtles are seniors.

The record of the turtle is Adwaita, the giant tortoise on the Galapagos island is 250 years old.

3. Ocean mussels

Marine boys are often exploited for commercial purposes. The researchers explained concentric circles or shell-like lines as age rings in a tree. Through a few samples, the life of marine mussels can be up to 400 years.

2. Antarctic sponges

Perhaps due to the extremely low temperatures in Antarctica, the Antarctic sponges, these immovable creatures have extremely slow growth rates. Some estimates suggest that this species can live up to 1,550 years.

1. Immortal jellyfish

The aquatic jellyfish species can live forever by reversing their lifespan from the maturity period back to the single-celled period and from there to continue to grow. With this way of existence, they are immortal animals in the world.
