Methuselah is at least 90-years-old. She enjoys figs, but only when fresh, not frozen and thawed.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is home to the oldest living aquarium fish in the world.Methuselah was Noah's grandfather, and he lived for 969 years.

The Academy will be sending a tiny sample of her fin to researchers in Australia, who will try to figure out her exact age."She's very gentile, very slow moving, but when they want to move fast they can. They can jump out of that tank and that's why we have a guard around it," he explained.Maybe, with her old age comes a more mature palate? She enjoys figs, but only when fresh, not frozen and thawed.
