Cool, BUT...
When you have an error of +- 120 years you don't state the upper limit. The age is more likely 392. Which is the way the study authors actually reported it (392 +-120).
"The oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for nearly 400 years"
"the largest animal (502 cm) to be 392 ± 120 years old."
I really wish science reporters wouldn't embellish results. Very few people have the access or understanding to actually verify the results. A perfect example of what has become known as Fake News.
