Oldest living entity


Meet Pando, not a forest but a single tree. Every trunk of the Quaking Aspen is genetically identical & connected by a single 80,000 year old root system, making it one of the largest and oldest living entities on Earth! 🍂

But isn't the universe only 6,000 years old :P

Actually I read about the age and some disagree about 80,000 years and only say 10,000 years. Still ridiculously old!

These are nearby, I guess a different tree but similar. They are very interesting to look at with markings that look like eyes - I'm going there tomorrow.

Have you heard of the stromatolites in western Australia?

@NinaTina don't quote me, but they're kind of like living rocks, blue green algae, I think, in colonies that are many millions of years old....
