Bunnies 10a
Bunnies 10a is a methuselah with lifespan 17425 that was found by Nick Gotts on June 4, 2019.[1] Bypassing bunnies 10 by only two generations, it was the longest-lived known 10-cell methuselah until the discovery of bunnies 10b. It evolves into the same final ash as bunnies, and therefore the same ash as bunnies 10 minus an extra glider.
