Humans don't live longer than animals because humans are part of the animal kingdom. There are animals that outlive humans on average e.g Parrots & Turtles.

However Humans now have the longest average lifespan among Mammals this is due mostly to our medical advances, remember the average human lifespan in the 14th century would have been a little over 30.

Do smaller animals live longer than bigger animals?

In general, smaller animals tend to live shorter lives than larger animals. This is known as the "rate-of-living theory," which suggests that animals with higher metabolic rates tend to have shorter lifespans. However, there are many exceptions to this rule, and lifespan can be influenced by a variety of factors such as genetics, environment, and evolutionary adaptations.

Do larger animals have shorter life spans than smaller animals in general?

No. Smaller animals tend to have shorter lifespans. Some insects live only for a day, generally at accelerated speeds. Though a 150 year old giant tortoise I met was also quite nippy for his age.


Why don't mice live for a long time?

The lifespan of most creatures is tied to its heart; small animals, such as mice, have very rapid heartbeats; because they are smaller, they lose heat faster, so their heart has to pump blood faster in order to maintain a normal internal temperature. Large animals, like elephants, have very slow heartbeats because their larger body retains more heat for a longer period of time; therefore, they live longer. The faster the heartbeat- the shorter their lifespan; the slower the heartbeat- the longer the lifespan.


Why do fish eat smaller fish?
