- Wrong link?
This goes to a 2023 article on DeSantiss https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/desantiss-florida...
Correct link; https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-some-animals-...
- Thank you for catching that.
- The examples they give of animals that live for thousands of years are the Shoestring fungus, the Great Basin bristlecone pine, and the Hexactinellid sea sponge.
I guess the sea sponge is an animal, but I wouldn't consider the other two as such.
