Patriarca da FlorestaThis tree, an example of the species Cariniana legalis named Patriarca da Floresta in Brazil, is estimated to be about 3,000 years old, making it the oldest non-conifer in Brazil. The tree is believed to be sacred, but its species is widely threatened due to forest clearing in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.

What's their secret? If they can live for such a long time, maybe we humans needed to learn how we can adopt what their secret is for ourselves. I think living for a few thousand years, and looking decent while at it, could be very interesting. Imagine if you were 3,000 years old now and all that you would know as fact over fiction in human history, granted you had the position to know. Recall, they were horrible to those who were privileged.
