Well there are 2 that are considered the longest lived species of animal....
The lifespan of a bowhead whale was once thought to be 60 to 70 years, similar to other whales. However, discoveries of antique ivory spear points in living whales in 1993, 1995 and 1999 have triggered further research based on structures in the whale's eye, leading to the reliable conclusion that at least some individuals have lived to be 150–200 years old.... which, along with analysis of amino acids, has indicated a maximum life span so far of 211 years.
Wonder what if there are no more whales. I read that whales eat plankton. Maybe if there are no whales the earth will be turning all the time because the whales help to balance the earth
