The life span of most animals is far less than that of humans who live between 75 and 80 years. The life expectancy of an animal has many factors, including its environment, its food supply, and whether or not it is captive. The life span of Galapagos tortoise is 200+ years and that of Box turtle, carp is 100 years.

In the mammal species, the larger animals tend to live longer than smaller ones. Take for instance this scenario. Man lives longer than many mammals. Next comes, elephants, monkeys, horses, and down the line to the tiny house mouse that lives the shortest period of time. Notice how the bigger mammals live longer than the smaller ones!
