Aldabra Tortoise – Up To 255 Years
The Aldabra tortoises have certain similarities with the Galápagos tortoises. The truth is that this animal lives longer than its famous South American cousin. The Aldabra tortoise is very rare and only lives on an island chain in the territory of Seychelles. There is only one known to exist today. It is amazing to think that Jonathan is now 187 years old. However, the record goes to Adwaita from the Kolkota Zoo, who passed away at the age of 255 in 2006.

Greenland Shark – (Possibly) Up To 392 Years
In the past, reindeer, polar bear, and moose remains have been found in the stomach of the Greenland Shark. This is one of the largest shark species in existence at 20 feet. The flesh is very toxic that you will get ill and blind drunk after eating it. This animal is the longest-living vertebrate on the planet. In 2016, one specimen was discovered to be 329 years old, although the margin of error is pretty big at 120 years. Even so, 272 years old is still very impressive!
