The Greenland right whale or Bowhead whale is the longest-lived animal on Earth, although many believe humans to be. The average Bowhead whale lives between 90 and 110 years, and one lived to be an estimated 211 years! Although they grow old, they are still youthful; female bowheads are thought to be the most flirtatious ocean mammal, constantly teasing their male counterpart.
