The Earth itself.
DUHH!!!!!
Hi Cherry ...
the problem statement did say "on planet Earth" ...
it has to be plantlife,maybe a gaint tree
as for the age of Cherry Lovr,i'am goin' say 12
Hi Knightmare ...
good guess, but it's not a tree.
and also a good guess as to the mental midget's age ... heh heh
does bacteria count,cuz i think they found some real old stuff frozen in the ice of Antarctica
Knightmare ...
bacteria it is ...
Bacteria was found in a shelled spore in the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, which has been analyzed and estimated to be 250 million years old.
Knightmare ... the bacteria was in a state of suspended animation when found. It was revitalized in a laboratory.
Hi Knightmare. My Daughter is nearly 11. She had better comprehension and manners than Cherry has, several years ago. So I'd go for 8 (tops).
...nearly forgot - Pequod.
New Mexico? how did it stay frozen for so long?i mean,250 million years,wait-isn't this how one of them Jurassic Park movies started?
if in wasn't bacteria,i was going to say fungus
did some googling-fungus is the largest living thing,covering 2200 acres(and growing)and is some 2400 years old
pando-a male quaking aspen is the heaviest(6 million kilograms with the root system) and is some 80,000 years old
Blood Falls
googled Blood Falls ... pretty interesting ... the microbes living in the salt-water lake are 2to 4 millions years old ... the bacteria found in Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico has it beat by a bit
Galapagos Turtles live to a ripe old age - I think it was Clive of Indias pet turtle that died around 2003 aged about 250yrs. I'll have to check my facts on this one tho.
That would make it the oldest sentient animal?
