Fascinating new study of the world's oldest bats. Their longevity may be due to their special resistance to oxidative stress.

Quote:
A new longevity record has been established for a free-living bat-41 years for a male Brandt's bat, Myotis brandtii. The exceptional longevity of bats generally, and this species in particular, should make bats of special interest for researchers studying mechanisms of slow aging.
