Say g'day to Methuselah, the oldest fish in human care! The reigning queen of Steinhart Aquarium was shipped over from eastern Australia in 1938, and she's been melting hearts (and demanding belly rubs) ever since.

In this video, Steinhart Aquarium Biologist Laura McMillan discusses her special bond with the iconic Australian lungfish. At roughly 100 years of age, Methuselah is in excellent health aside from some occasional constipation, and still begs like a puppy for live earthworms, peas, and, of course, fresh figs.
