What is the oldest living animal on the planet today?

Give me a minute to get the exact age, but I’m fairly certain that the reigning champion for old age is a galapagos tortoise at around 170 years

I’ll find the name and age =p don’t worry

Lonesome George?

Scientists found this clam, 405 to 410 years, but they killed it! I will continue searching until i found the current living old animal.

Well, since I was born some time while the earth’s crust was still forming, that would be me.

I’m not sure but I think the Tortoise must be one of the oldest.

Here’s what wikipedia has to say on the subject.

maybe the croc? i dont know.

haha you guys! Eambos already answered the question. It’s a clam. Well, today it’s probably THAT clam’s little sister. But the scientists haven’t found her yet.

Thanks, Eambos! You seem to be the ONLY person who understood what I was asking.

I do my best :)

Not to be insulting, rude or “mean” I’d like to suggest that if only one person really understood, do you think there may be a chance that you offered a poorly worded or framed question?
