In the depths of our oceans, time can seem to move a little differently. Consider these remarkable contrasts: While the pygmy goby lives just 59 days, deep-sea exploration has documented remarkable examples of extreme longevity: Antarctic glass sponges can survive for over 10,000 years in the frigid Southern Ocean, making them some of the oldest living animals on Earth. Research has shown us that deep-sea organisms, even in extreme conditions, generally live longer than their shallow-water count
