    Age: 82

    Location: Taipei Zoo

    The Details: Affectionally known as "Grandpa Lin," this elephant did a lot of living. During his time on Earth, Lin Wang served as a supply carrier during World War II and even was taken prisoner. After the wild life of war became too much, Lin Wang retired to the Taipei Zoo to enjoy the rest of his years. (Guinness World Records)
