The Bowhead whale is known for its longevity, with some individuals estimated to live over 200 years. This remarkable lifespan is attributed to their slow growth rates, low reproductive rates, and the cold Arctic waters they inhabit, which may contribute to a slower metabolism. Additionally, their genetic makeup may include adaptations that enhance cellular repair and reduce the effects of aging, allowing them to thrive for such extended periods.
