This 200-Year Old Salamander Could Be the Oldest Living Creature on Earth

Chinese news media is claiming that scientists have discovered a huge salamander in a cave in southwestern China. It measures 4 feet, 7 inches long and weighs 115 pounds. Wildlife experts claim that it's probably about 200 years old, which would make it the oldest living creature on the planet. This would take that title away from Jonathan, the 183-year old tortoise on the island of St. Helena.
The salamander is now resting in a contained pool where he can be further studied.
