Have you ever seen an elderly dog? They have the same characteristics as an elderly person. Gray hair, lack muscle tone, eyes that just look old… that dog is not 31.
Ah, the wonderful prevailing argument sweeping the internet the last few years: “that looks like something else, so it must be that. Let’s disregard sources and science. Everything must be what it looks like.”
People lie about their age all the time. There’s been many elderly people with badly documented births who fudged the numbers and added a decade or five to their age.
Unless there’s good documentation, be skeptical of extreme longevity claims.

Did you even read the article? There is good documentation. Man you keyboard ninjas need to spend less time in the dojo and more time in the library.
Bobi’s grand old age was validated by the Portuguese government’s pet database, which is managed by the National Union of Veterinarians.
How susceptible to bribes do you reckon the Portuguese National Union of Veterinarians could be?

Wow
Critical thinking! No! It doesn’t look ‘old’ so it can’t be!
And as with people, the obese don’t set age records
Yeah, it’s gotta be fucking incredible living life at 108.
/s
Didn’t say it was or that I wanted to.
Quality of life from 100 - 108 is much better than quality of life from 50 - 58 at 500lbs
