Billions of years ago, the early forms of life on Earth originated from the ocean. The rich diversity of marine life became an important part of our ecosystem. Although most prehistoric marine animals became extinct as part of evolution, some still survived. These species have endured for millions of years despite all the changes around them. Check out the review of the oldest living marine animals to date.
