Answer 2

In the wild the killer whale can live up to 60 years, however more often then not they only survive until they are around 35 years of age due to hunting, sickness, change of habitat, and predators. Some species have been recorded to have lived until they were 90 years old in the wild - this is rare but it shows how durable the killer whale can be when the conditions are right. In captivity the killer whale only lives until they are around 25 years of age - however again there are some exceptions where the whale has been able to live until they are around 40 years of age.

This varies drastically between each aquarium. Typically they live to 20s at most but some have been known to live in 40s but only a couple. This is not even half of how long then can last in the wild.
