Meet Methuselah, the fish that likes to eat fresh figs, get belly rubs and is believed to be the oldest living aquarium fish in the world.
In the Bible, Methuselah was Noah’s grandfather and was said to have lived to be 969 years old. Methuselah the fish is not quite that ancient, but biologists at the California Academy of Sciences believe it is about 90 years old, with no known living peers.
Methuselah is a 1.2-metre-long (four-foot), 18.1-kilogram (40-pound) Australian lungfish that was brought to the San Francisco museum in 1938 from Australia, which would make it more than 82 years old.
