In 1864, William M'Intosh described a specimen that had washed ashore in the aftermath of a severe storm by St Andrews, Scotland, which was more than 55 m (180 ft) long, [8] longer than the longest known lion's mane jellyfish, the animal which is often considered to be the longest in the world. However, records of extreme length should be taken ...
The lion's mane jellyfish, one of the longest extant animals. The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is the largest cnidarian species, of the class Scyphozoa. The largest known specimen of this giant, found washed up on the shore of Massachusetts Bay in 1870, [320] [321] had a bell diameter of 2.5 m (8.2 ft), a weight of 150 kg (330 lb).
At the time of his death in 2006, Adwaita was believed to be amongst the longest-living animals in the world. He may have been from Aldabra, an atoll in the Seychelles. This anecdotal report has not been confirmed. [4] The animal was one of four tortoises that lived at Robert Clive's estate at Barrackpore, in the northern suburbs of Calcutta. [5]

On the television program QI, the show claimed that the longest animal in the world was the lion's mane jellyfish. This was later corrected – in 1864, a bootlace worm ( Lineus longissimus ) was found washed up on the coast of Fife , Great Britain, that was 55 m (180 feet) long.
The animal kingdom boasts some incredibly long lifespans that far exceed the average human's. While humans may have an "absolute limit" of 150 years, this is just a blink of an eye compared ...
The body length estimations of Vasuki are derived from predictive regression equations: [2] one based on postzygapophyseal width, [4] and the other based on prezygapophyseal width. [5] The former equation resulted in a body length range of 10.9–12.2 metres (36–40 feet), while the latter equation resulted in a body length range of 14.5–15. ...
