An orca called Granny, who is matriarch of a group called the Southern Resident Killer Whales in the Pacific Ocean, is thought to have reached the ripe old age of 103 - meaning she could have been a year old when the Titanic sank.
Although her age is an estimate, studies into her reproductive history have plotted her birth all the way back to 1911.
The average lifespan of a wild orca is between 60 and 80 years, but other members of the Southern Residents have lived almost equally as long lives as Granny, including females Ocean Sun and Lummi, who died aged 85 and 98 respectively.
