Meet Adonis, Europe's oldest living inhabitant
    

Europe's oldest living inhabitant goes by the name of Adonis, lives in the highlands of northern Greece and is over 1,075 years old.
     No, the last part isn't a typo -- Adonis is a tree
     The millennium-old Bosnian pine was discovered by a group of scientists from Stockholm University, the University of Mainz and the University of Arizona, who announced their findings Friday.
     It is one of more than a dozen trees over 1,000 years old located in a forest high in the Pindos mountains near to the Greek border with Albania.
