Which animals live long lives? Answer ... the answer we were looking at something that will you'll be surprised. Elephants live to be 30-40 and not the giant tortoise. Huh ... Huh ... We named the record-breaking 507-year-old Ming mussel (clam) are not talking about, which was found in the Arctic, but we are telling you about sponges.
Have you ever heard the name of sponge? This creature, whose age is the highest in the world. These will shrink and close your fist will be spread open. The sponge can be seen on the surface of sea water. Typically, they move very slowly. After some adult sponges are fixed at its place. It is believed that the origin 500 million years ago, and today more than 5,000 species exist.
Most sponges are found in salt water. They are glued to something in seawater. Only 200 are the only species that lives in fresh water. These are very simple creatures, whose head is not, nor hand, nor any internal organ. Are just holes. Water flows through these holes, which are able to support these nutrients. Their ages hundred - two hundred, but there is 15,000 years. Now you must start thinking how these creatures live.
These creatures have won, because they create new cells take their outdated and the same process again and again repeats.
