I thought I recall reading in the Guiness book of World Records about 35 years ago that some variety of pine in the California mountains lived something like 6000 years but Wikipedia says more like 5000 years.

That would be a plant, but if you look at it that way, rocks are the oldest thing on the earth.

Went whale watching this summer and got to see the oldest recorded orca at just over 100 years old (can't remember her exact age). She is still going strong .

Other than the whale, they are also all cold-blooded creatures. I'm guessing that the need to burn energy constantly to stay warm is not as good for longevity as the ability to conserve energy by being cold-blooded.
