Some may live for over 1,000 years. [75] [76] The Greenland shark had been estimated to live to about 200 years, but a study published in 2016 found that a 5.02 m (16.5 ft) specimen was between 272 and 512 years old. [77] [78] That makes the Greenland shark the longest-lived vertebrate. [79]
All hydra cells continually divide. [15] It has been suggested that hydras do not undergo senescence, and, as such, are biologically immortal. In a four-year study, 3 cohorts of hydra did not show an increase in mortality with age. It is possible that these animals live much longer, considering that they reach maturity in 5 to 10 days. [16]

These artifacts suggested that bowhead whales can and have lived at least 130 years. Such data suggest the bowhead whale – a species that lives in the Arctic – tends to live longer on average.
Plants are referred to as annuals which live only one year, biennials which live two years, and perennials which live longer than that. The longest-lived perennials, woody-stemmed plants such as trees and bushes, often live for hundreds and even thousands of years (one may question whether or not they may die of old age).

Most wild bovids live for 10 to 15 years. Larger species tend to live longer; [3] for instance, American bison can live up to 25 years and gaur up to 30 years. The mean lifespan of domesticated individuals is nearly ten years. For example, domesticated goats have an average lifespan of 12 years.
