      Most animals live longer than seems reasonable. There a spider that lives in the corner of my garden shed and it still there after five years.

        Herring gulls in extreme cases can live into their 30s. There’s probably a haggard old gull somewhere which remembers the '90s.

        Some tarantula species can live up to +20 years old, I have read even claims of +30.

        Also big parrots might be able to live up to +80, though the exact numbers are unconfirmed for parrots, as they are living longer and longer in captivity, as our knowledge on how to keep them well gets better and better.
