Abstract
The averagelifespan of animals varies greatly from a few days
to hundreds of years. The Antarctic sponge CinachyraAntarctica
has lived for 1550 years, the ArcticaIslandica clam for more
than 400 years. The longest-living vertebrate is the Aldabra
giant tortoise (Aldabrachelysgigantea), which can live for more
than 200 years. The longest-living mammal is the bowhead
whale (Balaenamysticetus) (up to 200 years). Another long-live
mammal is an elephant, who lives up to 70 years. People in more
economically developed countries normally live for 80 years, but
there is a group of people over the age of 100 years. We can also
find enormous lifespan differences among birds. The golden eagle
(Aquila chrysaetos) lives up to 80 years, the large parrots Ara up to
70 years old, while the small songbirds live 5-10 years.
