Read the story this morning too. It is quite amazing how old some animals can live too.
It says that there was a whale that presumably lived to 200 years old. If I'm not mistaken, I remember reading a few stories about a tortoise that was also at least 135 years old.
Have there been any biological tests to determine why some whales can possibly live for so long? A whale's life has quite a few less variables to it than a human's life with relation to what it eats and exercise, etc.
