What is the oldest living creature on earth?
The oldest living creature on Earth is a Great Basin bristlecone pine tree (Pinus longaeva) named Methuselah. It is located in the White Mountains of California in the United States. Methuselah is estimated to be 4,853 years old, making it the oldest known living non-clonal tree on Earth. Clonal trees, such as the Pando aspen colony, are considered single organisms, and can be much older than Methuselah.
