Woodchucks, also known as groundhogs, typically live around 3-6 years in the wild. They have a life cycle that includes a gestation period of about 30-32 days, followed by the birth of 2-10 offspring in the spring. The young woodchucks, called kits, will stay with their mother for about 2-3 months before becoming independent.
An animal's life span is literally how long it lives. It's life cycle is the phases of development and behaviors that occur during that life span.

There are many types of cycles but I'm going to assume you're talking about the life cycle, life cycle is continued and never stopped until the creatures all have pass away. The life span is an average life time usually in years, like the hamster/gerbil life span is 3-4 years a dog life span is 12-14 years. The life cycle would just be, well life.
Life span is one life time. Life cycle is from the animal to its offspring to their offspring etc. Butterflies, for example: egg -> caterpillar -> chrysalis -> butterfly -> egg etc
A eucalyptus tree have an average life span of 400 years
Tornadoes are not alive. Sometimes a person may refer to the life span or life cycle of a tornado, but that does not mean actual life.
