longest living bird or animal ? crow ,tortoise or if any

Longest living things that walk, creep or fly?

Records like these generally come from zoos and aquariums. Conditions in the wild would alter numbers, but these are good for order of magnitude for oldest lining things by species:

Mammal, excluding human - an elephant lived for 69 years.

Bird - a turkey buzzard lived to 118 years and a swan to 102.

Reptiles - we have a giant tortoise that crept around for 152 years.

Amphibians - a giant salamander lasted 55 years.

Fish - no surprise that a catfish lived 60 years.

Insect - cicada is on the list for 17 years, but I saw somewhere that a queen ant lived for 25 years, as her colony came and went.

Hmmm, it seems like being big (elephant, giant tortoise) and belligerent (swan) helps. Being a good sleeper works for the cicada.

In captivity, both crows and ravens have been known to live for about thirty years - tops. In the wild, the average life span of a crow is 7-8 years. ...

A friend of mine had a crow from the time it was a baby. It died at the age of 28 years.
