The tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars. It has a height of 25 km, Mount Everest is 'only' 8.8 km tall.
Olympus Mons is wild. It's gigantic, but it's so gentle a slope that you could drive up to the peak.
It's so big because it's a shield volcano: there's a hotspot under it where magma is pushing up.
But since Mars has no active tectonics, that hot spot has been under the same spot for hundreds of millions of years. On earth, the tectonic plates would have slowly shifted over that time, and it would have become a mountain range, not one big mountain. On a dead planet like Mars, it just slowly builds up every time it erupts, so it's the biggest mountain in the solar system.
And it probably hasn't stopped growing! The most recent eruption is estimated at 2 million years ago, but geologically that's recent enough that it might still be active, and may erupt again someday.
Yareta (Azorella compacta) in Bolivia (elevation of 14,000 ft.).
This may look like a moss, but it isnt! This is a broad-leafed plant in the carrot family, Apiaceae.
These plants can grow to bve over 3000 years old. This large specimen may be over 1000 years old.

Some fungi create zombies, then control their minds
The tropical fungus Ophiocordyceps infects ants’ central nervous systems. Once it has been in an insect’s body for nine days, it has complete control over the host’s movements. According to National Geographic, it forces the ant to climb trees, then convulse and fall into the cool, moist soil below, where fungi thrive. Once there, the fungus waits until exactly solar noon to force the ant to bite a leaf and wait for death.
