Did you know bowhead whales can live over 200 years? These Arctic giants aren’t just massive—they’re basically the Methuselahs of the animal kingdom. Scientists found one that was 211 years old!

Biologists are obsessed with figuring out how these whales age so slowly—maybe one day we’ll borrow their anti-aging tricks! #Science #BowheadWhale #FunFact
