TOP 5 longest living animals in the world

Animals living under natural conditions rarely approach their maximum possible age because of very high death rates due to infant mortality, diseases, predators, bad weather, habitat destruction, or competition for food and shelter.

5. Galapagos Gian Tortoise

The largest living species of tortoise that can survive well past a hundred, with the oldest recorded at 152. The most famous Galapagos Tortoise was 'Lonesome George', a sub species who lived on the Islands, he was 100 years old and still classed as a young adult! He had become an ambassador of sorts for the islands off the coast of Ecuador whose unique flora and fauna helped inspire Charles Darwin’s theories on evolution.

4. Bowhead Whale

Bowhead whales have an average lifespan of 200 years. They can survive this long because they have a very low body temperature — and the lower an animal's body temperature, the longer it can live.

3. Greenland Shark

These sharks live farther north than any other shark species and some estimates put their lifespan at over 200 years. They also hold the world record for having the most toxic meat of any shark!

2. Koi Fish

Koi fish usually live for 25-30 years but there are reports of kois that have achieved ages of 100–200 years. One famous koi in Japan, named "Hanako", died in 1977 and a study of the growth rings of one of her scales reported that she was 226! This made her older than the United States of America!

1. Ocean Quahog

Some collected specimens have been calculated to be more than 400 years old. These animals show exceptional longevity with a highest reported age, for ‘Ming’ the clam, of 507 years. It was collected alive by an expedition in 2006 so it may have lived even longer if left in the wild.

TOP 5 fastest animals

Some animals are perfectly designed to be the ultimate speed machines.

Some of these fly through the air, others swim through water and some run on land. Most of the fastest animals are birds so our list below includes a selection of the fastest of all these different types of animals. Here are 5 of the fastest animals in the world.

5. Cheetah

The cheetah is designed for running down fast prey and can reach a top speed of 113km/h, three times faster than the top running speed for a human which is about 36km/h. 

4. Spur-winged goose

The Spur-winged goose is the world’s largest goose and flies at 142km/h.

3. Frigate Bird

The frigate bird speed of 153km/h is helped by having the largest wingspan to body weight ratio of any bird and they are able to stay aloft for more than a week.

2. Spine-tailed Swift

The Spine-tailed swift is the fastest bird in powered flight, with a top recorded speed of 171km/h.

1. Peregrine Falcon

TOP 5 Deadliest Animals in the World

5. Elephant

The elephant, the largest land mammal, lives in Africa and some parts of Asia. Normally viewed as friendly, elephants have sometimes been known to exhibit unpredictable behavior and attack without warning. Occasionally there have been reports of a captive elephant that, after years of affectionate behavior toward a keeper, will suddenly attack the person. An elephant’s legs, trunk, and weight can crush just about anything, and one moment of anger can be lethal.

Wild elephants sometimes enter villages and do damage or crush people, and a person can also be trampled inadvertently by a herd moving past. Around 500 people die by elephants every year.

4. Crocodile

The saltwater crocodile is the largest reptile in the world. The saltwater and Nile crocodiles are the most dangerous, killing hundreds of people a year. The crocodile lives throughout the tropics of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia in slow-moving rivers and lakes. It eats a wide variety of animals, living and dead. Its eyes, ears, and nostrils are located high on the head, which allows a crocodile to see and hear its prey. It ranges from 5 to 20 feet long.

The saltwater crocodile is powerful and fast, and its jaws can apply 3,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. Crocodiles kill up to 800 people every year.

3. African lion

The African lion has amazing speed, razor sharp claws, and teeth to attack its prey. It hunts in groups and stalks its prey before attacking, running in bursts of up to 50 miles per hour. The females usually do the hunting and stalk zebras, wildebeest, and Cape buffalo. The male rarely joins the hunt, being too busy protecting the pride. This dangerous animal has attacked people on farms and in cars at African Safaris; it has attacked trainers in circuses, zookeepers, and people keeping lions as pets. Lions cause hundreds of fatalities a year.

2. Snake

Many species of snakes are dangerous to humans. More than 450 species are venomous, and 250 are capable of killing a person. Most venomous bites occur in Africa, Asia, and North America.

The Carpet Viper causes most of the snakebite deaths worldwide. Its poison can keep the victim’s blood from coagulating, and the person can bleed to death. The Taipan or fierce snake is the most venomous snake in the world, but there have been no fatalities. Antivenom is available, and the “fierce snake” is actually rather docile and reclusive, and lives in a remote area in Australia where few people encounter it.

1. Mosquito

Mosquitoes make number one on the list of deadliest animal in world. This small blood-sucking insect kills over a million people each year worldwide. It can spread diseases, most notably malaria. It can also spread elephantiasis, yellow fever, and West Nile virus. Mosquitoes are found in abundance in tropical areas and can also survive the winter in countries with lower temperatures such as Canada.

Depending on how you look at the statistics, other animals could have also made this list. Among them are the poison dart frog, the Brazilian wondering spider, the scorpion, and the Komodo dragon.

The Venom GT is the fastest car in the world when tested again on February 14th, 2014 at NASA runway in Florida. The track was only 3.22 miles long, thus limiting it top speed to 270 mph.

In the past, the Bugatti Veyron lost the title to SSC Ultimate Aero on March 2007. However, Bugatti challenged the record in Germany on July 10, 2010 with the new Super Sport and reclaimed the title of the fastest car in the world at 268 mph. The original Bugatti Veyron had a top speed of 253 mph, priced at $1,700,000 with 1001 hp.

TOP 5 Richest people in the planet 2014

5. Larry Ellison According to Forbes’ list, Ellison is worth $48 billion, $8 billion more than the Koch brothers. He was named the third wealthiest man in America last year. Aside from his focus on Oracle and several other corporations he has stakes in, including Salesforce.com, NetSuite, Quark Biotechnology, and Astex Pharmaceuticals, Ellison has been recognized for his commitment to philanthropic efforts, and was also one of the billionaires in 2010 to sign the “The Giving Pledge,” a campaign that emboldens the wealthiest people in the world to make a commitment to give most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. The campaign was made public by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.


4. Warren Buffett Speaking of Buffett, he is next as the fourth-richest billionaire on Forbes’s list, coming in at a net worth of $58.2 billion and easily upsetting Ellison’s figure. Long known as one of the world’s wealthiest people, Buffet is best known for his impressive prowess in investing in the 20th century, and now he is still riding out that success. The business magnate and investor is chairman, CEO, and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway , and he has not only been recognized as one of the richest people in the world, but also the most influential, thanks to the power he wields over the companies he maintains stakes in. Buffett is also a philanthropist and has pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune, especially evidenced by his efforts to establish the aforementioned “Giving Pledge.”

3. Amancio Ortega

Holding his ground in third is a Spanish businessman, Amancio Ortega, who is worth $64 billion thanks to his success in retail. Ortega is founding chairman of the Inditex fashion group, the Spanish clothing company headquartered in Arteixo, Spain, that is made up of almost a hundred companies. Inditex is best known for its chain of Zara clothing and accessories retail shops. Last year, Ortega was was ranked the third richest person in the world by Forbes with a net worth of $57 billion, but that figure has increased by $7 billion now, and he holds his own as the third richest billionaire, despite having announced his retirement from Inditex in 2011.

2. Carlos Slim Helu

Sorry, Carlos Slim Helu, close but no cigar. The billionaire who just misses the first-place distinction is the business magnate who held the title of richest person in the world from 2010 to 2013, but surrendered it this year. The Mexican businessman and philanthropist has his hand in a number of Mexican companies via his conglomerate, Grupo Carso, SA de CV, and Helu is the chairman and chief executive of telecommunications companies Telmex and América Móvil . As for his philanthropic efforts, the billionaire established Fundación Telmex, a broad-ranging philanthropic foundation, in 1995 and has since contributed significantly to that organization, alone with a number of other charities. His contributions earned him a spot on Forbes’s 2011 list of World’s Biggest Givers.

1. Bill Gates  And Bill Gates reclaims his title as the world’s richest man in 2014 after running the second spot for the previous three years. It’s safe to say this American investor, programmer, inventor, and philanthropist is known world-wide, and no one is exactly surprised he has regained the top spot on Forbes’s list. The former CEO and chairman of Microsoft  is now worth $76 billion, $4 billion more than his closest competitor, and that wealth likely isn’t going anywhere, despite what reports say about Microsoft. Though Gates is known for his technological prowess at Microsoft, the tech company he co-founded, he is also widely hailed for his commitment to philanthropy and the large sums of money he has committed to a wide variety of charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000. In addition, although Gates stepped down as CEO of Microsoft in 2000, it’s safe to say he still has a big say in the running of the business.
