10 Longest Living Creatures on Earth

There are more than 8.7 million species found on our beautiful planet earth and every single specie has its own particular life expectancy. The life expectancy varies from specie to specie. Life expectancy depends on some crucial factors such as climate, habitat, nourishment, predators and whether the animal is a prey itself or not.
Size of the creature also plays a major role, as generally seen the smaller animals have a shorter lifespan than the larger ones. The smaller animals have higher body metabolism and have to work or move around more than the bigger ones. And generally, these smaller animals end up as a source of food for the bigger ones.
