10 Animals Who Can Live Forever Humans have been looking for the key to eternal life for centuries. From the first emperor of China, who reportedly ingested mercury pills, to various European explorers searching for the fabled fountain of youth, it seems that us humans aren’t really satisfied with the time allotted to us here on earth. Animals, however, seems to have a better grasp at immortality than we have. Today, we will look at 10 animals who can live forever. Just to clarify, were not saying that these animals are completely immortal, but rather have the chance to, that is if they aren’t eaten by predators or succumb to sickness. Number one though, is a different story and quite possibly is the very definition of immortality. Watch out for that.

Fortunately, they are now a protected species and measures have been put up to make sure they live their long, slow moving lives at peace.
Number 9. Clams Clams are just some of the most unassuming, and not to mention, animals on earth. Who would have known that they have the secret to immortality hidden inside their tough shells? Yes, certain species of clams are immortal or have extremely long lives. One specie, for instance, has shown great resilience and, although they are regularly harvested for food, seems to defy the odds and just keep chugging on. The ocean quahog clam shows exceptional longevity. One specimen called "Ming" was estimated to live up to 507 years in the wild. One study found that in animals aged 4-192 year
