The longest-lived vertebrates have been variously described as
・Large parrots (macaws and cockatoos can live up to 80 100 years in captivity)
・Koi (a Japanese species of fish, allegedly living up to 200 years, though generally not exceeding 50 a specimen named Hanako was reportedly 226 years old upon her death)
・Tortoises (Galapagos tortoise) (190 years)
・Tuataras (a New Zealand reptile species, 100 200+ years)
・Eels, the so-called Brantevik Eel (Swedish: Branteviksalen) is thought to have lived in a water well in southern Sweden since 1859,
which makes it over 150 years old. It was reported that it had died in August 2014 at an age of
・Whales (bowhead whale) (Balaena mysticetus about 200 years) Although this idea was unproven for a time, recent research has indicated that bowhead whales recently killed still had harpoons in their bodies from about 1890,
which, along with analysis of amino acids, has indicated a maximum life span, stated as "the 211 year-old bowhead could have been from 177 to 245 years old".
・Greenland sharks are currently the vertebrate species with the longest known lifespan.
An examination of 28 specimens in one study published in 2016 determined by radiocarbon dating that the oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for about 392 ± 120 years (a minimum of 272 years and a maximum of 512 years).
The authors further concluded that the species reaches sexual maturity at about 150 years of age.
・Invertebrate species which continue to grow as long as they live (e.g., certain clams, some coral species) can on occasion live hundreds of years:
A bivalve mollusk (Arctica islandica) (aka "Ming", lived 507±2 years.)
