How long can animals survive without food?

Answer 1

It depends on the age and where they live. Animals with abundant amounts of food may not survive without food for two days because of the way they adapt. Animals where food is scarce are more likely to survive because they are used to not having food.

Answer 2

No animal can live without water. You are probably thinking about those animals that can live a long time, or even their entire lives without drinking water or absorbing water through their skin. Such animals do exist, because they can obtain their water through their food. Many food items contain water. After all most cells contain mostly water, and most food animals eat are cells, whether they are plant cells, animal cells or bacterial cells. Another way an animal can get water through their food is through metabolism.

Answer 3

The ability of animals to survive without food varies greatly depending on the species. Some animals, like camels, can go weeks without food, while others, like small rodents, may only survive a few days without food. Generally, animals with higher body fat reserves can survive longer periods without food.

Answer 4

Sheep can go as long as 10 days without having water. The sheep must eat every day as much as they can to be healthy.
