- Turritopsis dohrnii and the freshwater hydrozoans of the category Hydra are naturally never-ceasing, so since the former appeared about 100 million years back and the latter regarding 600 million years back, although extremely unlikely (they can still be killed and/or eaten), we can not rule out the opportunity that some samplings have actually miraculously survived to the present day.
- Some bacterial spores can be preserved for numerous years. Bacteria inactive for as long as 250 million years have actually been “revived” in some salt deposits in New Mexico; others maintained in brownish-yellow have actually been revitalized after 40 million years.
- Specific bacteria, usually extremophiles, called endoliths, can survive for millions of years within the small holes between rocks. Some found in the South Pacific have been dated to 101 5 million years back.
- Some nematodes located in the permafrost above the Arctic Circle were defrosted out after 35, 000 years, after which they started relocating and feeding as if absolutely nothing had actually taken place. A specimen of Panagrolaimus kolymaensis discovered in Russia under the very same problems was revived a few years earlier after a monstrous 46, 000 years, making it currently the longest-lived multicellular microorganism known.
