Much like the fascinating depths of the sea, the comments section of deep sea news holds untold treasures.
Specifically... the longest living animal on Earth... the incredible Scolymastra joubini Vase Sea Sponge! I had no idea. And although it seems to contradict this deep sea news post, I'm inclined to believe it's real.
It looks 15,000 years old. You can see it on this site from SUNY Stonybrook, which is very strict about cross-posting images so you'll have to go there to view their incredible expedition photos. It's well worth it.
