【推荐3】Methuselah
Until 2013, Methuselah,an ancient bristlecone pine (狐尾松), had been the oldest known organism on Earth. While Methuselah still stands at the ripe old age of 4,848 in the White Mountains of California, in Inyo National Forest, another bristlecone pine which was unnamed in the area was discovered to be over 5,000 years old.

Estimated to have been around 3,500 years old, the Senator was used as a landmark for the Seminole Indians and other native tribes.
