Neptune grass claims title of oldest living organism Empty Neptune grass claims title of oldest living organism




40 patches of Neptune grass in the Mediterranean represent the oldest living organisms in the world-- each of these patches asexually reproduced from a specimen over 12,000 years old, most likely over 100,000 years old, and possibly even as old as 200,000 years!
