The world's oldest recorded tree is a 9,550 year old spruce in the Dalarna province of Sweden. The spruce tree has shown to be a tenacious Survivor that has endured by growing between erect trees and smaller bushes in pace with the dramatic climate changes over time. See links below for more details.
The oldest known living organism on Earth is believed to be a colony of seagrass called Posidonia oceanica, estimated to be around 200,000 years old. Another contender is a colony of quaking aspen trees in Utah called "Pando," which is estimated to be around 80,000 years old.
Ginkgo trees have been around for over 200 million years, making them some of the oldest tree species on Earth. They are often referred to as living fossils due to their ancient lineage.
The oldest known form of life on Earth is believed to be cyanobacteria, which appeared around 3.5 billion years ago. These microbes are some of the earliest organisms capable of photosynthesis, playing a crucial role in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere.
The Pando tree, which is actually a clonal colony of quaking aspen trees, is located in the Fishlake National Forest in Utah, United States. It is considered one of the oldest and heaviest living organisms on Earth.
The oldest known living organisms are single-celled archaebacteria (archaea). The oldest known individual living organism is a bristle-cone pine tree in the mountains of California. It is close to 5000 years old.
Bristle cones
One of the living things is trees. Without trees we can not breathe.
The oldest-living human is currently Jamaica's Violet Brown, who is 117.
The Bristlestone Pine is the oldest not largest, it is estamted that the oldest living one on earth at the moment (Methuseslah) is 4,767 years old.
It would be sharks. They outlived dinosaurs!

Earth's oldest living inhabitant, a Bristlecone Pine Tree nicknamed "Methuselah," logs in at an amazing 4,767 years old. It is believed to be the oldest living tree in North America and possibly the world. It is listed as such in the "Guinness Book of World Records." Methuselah has lived more than a millennium longer than any other tree. It was discovered in the White Mountain Range of the Inyo National Forest of east-central California.
They have been identified as the oldest living things
Earth's oldest living inhabitant "Methuselah" has reached the age of 4,768 years.
Pine trees do not normally live longer than oak trees although the Bristlecone Pine is the oldest recorded living tree so this is questionably.
The Methuselah tree, a bristlecone pine located in California, is estimated to be over 4,800 years old. It is considered one of the oldest living trees on Earth.
Ginkgo trees have been around for over 200 million years, making them some of the oldest tree species on Earth. They are often referred to as living fossils due to their ancient lineage.
