| Turtle |
Some turtles can live almost as long as we do, and maybe even longer. There are even known centenarian turtles around the world, the secret to their long life may be found their genetic make-up. Some scientist noticed that their lungs, kidneys and liver do not change over time and centenarian organs are still functioning healthily. This has inspired some scientist to study the genetic structure of the turtle to achieve human longevity. This also may be why there is still a large and illegal market for turtle parts of the world, the longevity of turtles have long been desired by human beings.
