The 100 species with longest life-spans recorded and verified [1] This is a list of the longest-living biological organisms: the individual(s) (or in some instances, clones) of a species with the longest natural maximum life spans. For a given species, such a designation may include:
The differences in life span between species demonstrate the role of genetics in determining maximum life span ("rate of aging"). The records (in years) are these: for common house mouse, 4 [29] for Brown rat, 3.8 [30] for dogs, 29 (See List of longest-living dogs) [31] for cats, 38 (See List of longest-living cats) [32] for common cranes, 43 [33]
Rather than protecting cells from aging, long telomeres help cells with age-related mutations last longer. [13] This problem prepares the conditions for the occurrence of various types of cancer, and people with longer cell telomeres showed more signs of suffering from types of cancer such as Melanoma and Lymphoma.

This list of longest species names lists the longest scientific binomials. [1] Species in this list are grouped by length of their name. Only binomials are considered, not subgenera, trinomial names of subspecies or infraspecific names. Family is given for each species (or the closest taxonomic rank if family is unassigned), with a short ...
The US and UK don't even remotely rank close to the top spots.
This is a list of maximum recorded animal lifespans in captivity. Only animals from the classes of the Chordata phylum are included. [1] On average, captive animals (especially mammals) live longer than wild animals.
