2 - Yes! Jonathon the turtle!! 10JHD!

4 - Yes, but Shenzhen is really only 31 as it has not had this years birthday yet! :P 10JHD!

5 - Tyrone might be stretching the truth a bit on that!

1 - Is this person still alive? What is his name?

1. Strictly speaking, She was 122 years, and plus 164 days , named  Jeanne Calment (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997).

2. Sorry for my misunderstanding the meaning of the sentence,  The oldest living animal is Arctica islandica clam, It was discovered to be at least 405 years old.

1 - yes, but now she is dead, so she is no longer the world's oldest person. :P
