No, the oldest cow was 48:

The oldest age recorded for a cow was 48 years and 9 months for Big Bertha (194493), a Dremon owned by Jerome O'Leary of Blackwatersbridge, Co. Kerry, Republic of Ireland.

The oldest tarantula was 43.

The worlds oldest known spider has died after a record-breaking lifespan of 43 years, according to researchers in Australia. The spider, known as Number 16 to Australian scientists, was a female trapdoor tarantula living in Western Australias Central Wheatbelt region, Agence France-Press reports. The spider didnt die of old age, however, but was killed by a wasp sting, researchers said Monday.

Fuck that wasp

eesh, that cow looks taxidermied already

If you really want to be amazed, look up the records for parrots.

For cockatiels - the tiny ones with the orange cheeks - the confirmed record is 36. For larger parrots, it's 89 (a moluccan cockatoo, iirc). Unconfirmed but plausible claims exist of over 100.

Makes me sad that these animals are unaware of how special they are

And if theres one thing we know about Australians its that they always tell the truth.
