Part 2 of our deep dive into age enters the world of the ancients. What are the oldest living things in the world? Which animals have unlocked the secrets of immortality? And, most importantly, what's going on with bats?! 

"How many geese?" is aging before your very eyes/ears. In this first installment of our two-parter about old animals we dive into - what's the oldest thing you've ever eaten? Did Churchill really have a parrot that swore at Nazis? And, of course, how many asps could you take in a fight?
