Amazing centenarians

  We call "centenarians" a group of individuals who have lived more than a hundred years. This is a real example of what nature can do.
To live for more than 100 years is a gift from God that not eveybody has, that's the reason why the people who have lived for more than 100 years are just chosen few.

  Here you have a list of the oldest centenarians registered in the world:
