Discover the stunned red urchin, living the longest on Earth
Red sea urchins, invertebrate-shaped invertebrates appear 450 million years ago. This is one of the most 'long-lived' animals on Earth.
The average life of red sea urchins is 30 years.
The red sea urchin is the largest sea urchin, possibly up to 25cm. Around the body of red urchins there are many sharp spines that protect and fight the enemy. Red sea urchin crawls very slowly. Sometimes, red porcupines gather together and go for food.
The average life of red sea urchins is 30 years, but if this time passes, they can live for more than 200 years with almost no signs of old age.
Red sea urchins are found in shallow waters. In particular, a 100-year-old red sea urchin is also capable of living well and reproducing like a 10-year-old hedgehog. In fact, the more mature red sea urchins are, the more eggs and sperm they produce, the more likely they are to mate when they are extremely old.
The red sea urchin is an invertebrate shaped like a splendid red spherical ball.
