The article specifies the oldest living land animal. Greenland Sharks don’t even reach sexual maturity until they’re 150 years old.

For reference, this was the cake. Tasty!

I’m not seeing the resemblance, to be honest.
It’s a cake made to resemble the creature that’s supposed to eat it.

I remember this episode! It is kinda funny how phoned in the cake is compared to what is expected today as a fancy cake.

Very much animals, and I think amazing ones, but I’m not sure suspended animation should count toward your age. Also those ones won’t be alive now, since they only live a few days when restored.
Otherwise the record was a quahog that made it to 507 years old before it was killed, but I don’t think people can really tell while they’re alive.
