Serbia: 46,000 year old worm broke dormancy records
Scientists have long known that some organisms can put their lives on hold in order to survive harsh environments, but this time they managed to revive a roundworm that had been dormant for 46,000 years in Siberian permafrost. It appears that this time-traveling worm has broken all previous records for dormancy; after being revived, the worms began to produce young.
