Earth is a challenging, ever-changing place, and everything from the temperature of the oceans to the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is constantly in flux. And in this world of change, every living creature is running, swimming, slithering or flying to adapt and survive — or ends up dead.In November 2010, Guinness World Records awarded the title of"oldest living creature" to Triops cancriformis, or tadpole shrimp.
The coelacanth species swimming in our oceans today aren't the same as the fossilized coelacanth species, which really did go extinct. A 2010 study published in the journal Marine Biology suggested the living species emerged within the last 20 million to 30 million years. The same is true for the similarly ancient horseshoe crab lineage, which stretches back around 480 million years.
Studies of the fossil record suggest that species typically last between 500,000 years and 3 million years before they succumb to extinction or are replaced by a descendant, according to an article in the magazine American Scientist .—Can nonhuman animals drive other animals to extinction?
