The Shortest and Longest Lifespans of Animals

Time. Tick tock. We live only a tiny fraction of time that our planet has been around for. Even humanity itself is very young. But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality. See for yourself.

Mayfly has the shortest lifespan on Earth — 24 hours or less. Greenland shark lives over 270 years. It's the longest-living vertebrate. But there are creatures who live over 2,000 years or even... forever! Yup, one of them is biologically immortal. It can go back to being polyp and grow up again infinitely...

Crocs can live much much longer than 95 years, we don't actually know what their life expectancy is. Some theories state they don't actually age biologically and very old crocs are just as physically capable as young crocs. Same thing with lobsters.

Imagine being a tortoise and being sentence 100 years at 20. You could serve the whole 100 years and live another 5 decades.

What's lovely about this video besides the facts of the lifespans are the details of the horizontal and vertical arrows as indicators for the height and length and the location mark on the map on the habitats. And the animals' sounds along with the background colour change (yellow & blue) indicating land & water. Simply superb. 👏
Had to decrease the playback speed to go through the details 😅..

For the guinea pig, that's actually not true.

When my dad got me guinea pigs for my 6 or 7th birthday (I can't remember, and yes their still alive) the worker told us that they can live up to 8 years, but usually live up to 5 or 6

Eat healthy, do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well. That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊
