Ancient creatures are always curious to researchers, prompting them to find secrets to help them live so long, according to Top News.

Spanish seagrass - 100,000 years old

Seagrass group is found near the Balearic Islands, Spain, is said to be the oldest creature in the world, dating to about 100,000 years. This seagrass stretches more than 16 km below the water, a plant full of flowers and fruits.

To protect the seagrass fields that cover the ocean floor, the Spanish government is pushing to mark them on the shipping map.

Pando - 80,000 years old

Scientists discovered the extremely cold climate of the ocean that slowed down the biological process. That makes the seagull grow at a very slow speed, leading to a significant increase in life expectancy. This soft foam is often seen at depths of more than 30 m under the ice, making it difficult to study them.
