I wonder why there was no mention of the Bristlecone Pine? Over 4 thousand years old. Each one. High up in the mountains in California. Discovered by a scientist who cut one down to examine the rings. The story goes, he had to count twice in disbelief when he realized what he had done. Now they are protected, and the location is not readily available. There is a film about this, but I don't remember the name unfortunately.
You, Sir, have earned another sub....very well composed and interesting videos. More please :-)
Im just gonna say this now.. but what about the immortal jellyfish?
Don't forget Keith Richard s of the rolling Stones as one of the oldest living things on earth
Yes. Yes he is.
Who said alcohol is not a preserving agent?
@@juliesunshine333 woodlathe
Monty Smith 😂
I'll join the under 10k sub, mostly because of the "IT'S OLDER THEN CHAIRS!"... saw that other video and I still can't believe it... imagine the posibilities for research and development!
Never before have I seen a list that counted Australia so many times that wasn't a list about Australia. I'm flattered.
Maybe I'm just stupid tired from working overtime today, but... when he said about the Elephant Island Moss that "scientist first dated it," my brain immediately went, "Did they ask it out, or did it ask them?" 🙄😆
Chitarra10 🤣
cool vid. keep up the good work.
the minion socks with sandles being called an accident made me lose my shit laughing i already love this channel and ive only just found it
+Daisy Hammer me too
I think it may have been a cast on someone's broken leg
Sooooo well done. Bravo!
Why isn't Bernie Sanders on this list?
Why weren't the giant redwood trees included, 1000's of years old?
I really appreciate all the research you put into your videos. SUBSCRIBE'd ;]
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Not surprised about #13...I live in Pennsylvania, and out in the woods there are huckleberry plants everywhere.
I do love how you actually do seem to check you facts and gain a real understanding of the topic before adding it to your videos.
"It predates chairs!"
It might just be the way he said it, but that cracked me up.
isdffdddo
AHhh Killer Quakies! I heard that one fell and took a guys head clean off. Just thought I would share this.
number 14: wow a type of TREE predates CHAIRS.
Very Interesting
There is a plant growing in near walvisbay Namibia. It’s a Welwitschia a which is supposed to be 2000 years old. A baby in comparison
Consider something like the amoeba: Does it ever die a natural death from senescence?
Senescence don't understand eighteen me
Enlighten me
What about Bristle Cone Pine in California?
Some bitch cut it down..... because it was named Methuselah. She was a bible thumper and thought that was sacrelig.
Hardly click bait of they still killed the oldest clam
Wait, what was that toe thing at 2:35?
where's Methuselah tree??
thanks
subbed
lol cool survival story
Ty
now the oldest spruce is now called kaytlin
I was expecting Tardigrades or AKA Water Bears to be on this list!
Yeah!
Just a heads up, Tasmania is a part of Australia as well. it isnt just an island off Australia.
Why can't we have non clones life spans that's just as amazing when I know you can break a branch off and it keeps growing that kind of defeats All Odds there's a pine tree in California called the Methuselah it's pretty awesome to read about
What about the immortal jellyfish which can re-birth itself so it grows up and does it again it could be millions of years old (possibly)
+Ze_Mudkipz no because it is biologically immortal... it can still die if something infects it, if it is eaten or if it is poisoned
You forgot the Red Woods in California!!
God bless you
What about sandle wood?
at 5:23
Pedantic hi5.
The medusa tree !
You started off on the wrong foot, that moss is Glorious! Get your priorities straight.
What about Bernie Sanders?
im from western australia where the myalup tree is hes pronounced it incorrectly
+Natalie Luders You wrote that incorrectly.
Yeah i know he pronounced it incorrectly i spell it incorrectly
+Natalie Luders You wrote that incorrectly
If only we humans could live for 400 to 600 thousand years =(
Brandon Fisher
Why the fuck would we live like that we would forget everything I DON'T LIKE LIVING 600,000 YEARS ARE YOU INSANE?
+Lee Gaming HQ Wow, pretty sad you must resort to using profanity when I've done nothing to you, dude & BTW I was only kidding lol
Lee Gaming HQ only people who have bad memory or a disorder would forget their childhood
Brandon Fisher I have always wanted to live till all the human race dies
Like I wish to be immortal but I can only kill myself 👍I'm the kind of person who like to observe
+itsMeYourBoi I would like to live a long life but not too long for the reason that the longer you live the more likely you are to face some major cataclysms like an asteroid impact or a supervolcano eruption.
what about the bristlecone pine?
U had me @ fact check
do what animals can live longest
There is an ancient olive tree in southern Peloponnese, Greece, that is older than 2000 years old,all by itself. No clone. If I remember correctly it's named Paussania's olive tree.
Don't forget Methuselah tree in California another non clone
There is a yew tree in the kirkyard in Fortingall, Scotland, said to be over 5,000 years old.
Shackelton "ironically got wrecked in the ice" well yes, he was well aware that was a strong possibility lol
A Shore I thought exactly the same thing!! Re-listened to it and I think the irony he was going for was that the name of his ship was Endurance (not to be a grammar nazi, but it was a poorly constructed sentence)
Dear Duo Fish....Are you saying colonial as in colony or clonal as in clone?
Deborah Rowland colony as in "America is just a colony"
clonal
Us Aussie's pronounce huon as one 💗💞💗
Sorry but the amount in kilograms is roughly 60.000 - 5 million kilos is like 54.000 tons
+Casper sanderson sorry but a tonne is 1000kg a non metric ton is about 1016kg so 5 million kilos is either 5000 tonnes or 4921 tons.
i lmaoed when minions showed up when he said accidents
TypicalSkrub
LOL ikr
"Hejdå"? Are you guys swedish? :D
Norway spruse in sweden?............. ok
pando the male quaking aspen tree 80000 years old clonal tree in Utah. it occupies 106 acres and is 6600 tons. its possibly the largest organism on earth.
I live in Pennsylvania :0
The title led me to believe I would see horseshoe crabs
< means 'less than'.... more than 10,000 years old would be: " >10,000 "
(sees title)
Me:YO MAMA
+Savannah Kidwell nice
+Savannah Kidwell Wow, it's like I'm in the 4th grade again
Xaldia
welcome to internet,dork
Dude great work
No Huon pines shown.
4:28 how dare you show me this picture and not tell me whats happening.
He's doing some black magic with the tree
Cre-uh-sote. The final e is not pronounced.
Doesn't it just bug u when stuff doesn't get pronounced right
Are you saying "Good bye" in swedish (Hejdå))
What ? No mention of Betty White ? 🤣
Tasmania is a State of Australia... Not just an island south of the mainland.
No bristlecone pine tree?
I'm glad you mentioned the bristlecone pine. It's about 10,000 years old
It isn't a bush, it's a small medium or large shrub, it's actually the scientific term :P
forgot emortel jellyfish
i gots dibbs on that dropa when it kicks it ol' gamblin' man Tony needs a new toilet seat
Damn shame with tht clam 507 yrs old jus to be killed by humans tryna find out how old it was tht screams what humanity has become if u dont see what I mean then your apart of the problem
❤
Rod Spewart (oops) Stewart should be on this list.
”Hej då!” You’re Swedish?
Chairs were the first thing invented
wheres the immortal jellyfish,it lives forever
France Ball he didn’t include it because it technically revives itself
you know tasmania is part of australia, right?
5:27 - that’s the “less than” symbol! You’re saying “greater than 10,000”, but the text is saying “less than 10,000” 😅
Yep. Definitely less than.
Did he just say “hejdå” in the end?? Why u speaking Swedish at random like that!?😂😂
Unfortunately ibiza is now incredibly polluted...
Thought my husband would be amongst them lol.
I wonder how many of the plants are undamaged since this video was made that are in California and Australia? Since they have had large fires there. Hopefully they were undamaged.
OMG. Syberia has the title. So why the war and destruction. Where is the global respect for oldest living Grandparent?
Number 1 would actually be corals
olive trees
Was that Pewdiepie
I TOO AM DUO FISH
SNAKE
did someone mess up the math ? 6000 tons is 6000000 kg
yeah I laughed out loud when I saw that! How could they get something that easy so wrong?
Nice video but your missing a few creatures.
No Betty White?
10:10 is that Pewdiepew???
Yes and he is really 15 thousand years old. Hahahahaaa!
Nah man
@_@
I think it is...
Stef Styl Too ginger, too bald don’t think it is
I was very disappointed to NOT see my mother in this list.
You sound like ferris Buller
I find it a lot easier to believe that there was an intelligent plan that started the world rather than to try to figure out how things just accidentally happened to evolve until we have such an amazing human body. Is that even possible?? If you take a watch apart and put all the pieces in a bag and shake it, will it become a watch? Yet all he necessary pieces are right there. Please pick up your Bible and begin reading right from the beginning. It will make a lot of sense.
Planet Dolan says hi
I'll have to pitch in and say they havent studied 99% of whats under the ice cap... so this is bound to change the order of this list a lot when it is researched more...
just saying... we got no idea whats under there yet..
yo
my cat is 10
✌
the plant at 3:33 looks like a "Hoyia" to me (not sure of spelling). Does that mean that the plant he was talking about (some tasteless berry) and showing, is not even the right plant. Besides he showed two different berry bushes for this ancient 13,000 yr old plant. Oops, oh yeah, it's been re-dated to be 8,000 yrs.- what kind of "teaching" is this?! Get the facts straight AND the correct pictures!
