What animal can live longer than a human?

User Avatar

Asked by PRIZExREBEL

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!

Is a leopard an autotroph?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, as an herbivore, the moose is a heterotroph. An autotroph is: "Any living organism that synthesizes organic substances from inorganic molecules by using light or chemical energy. Autotrophs are the primary producers in all food chains since the materials they synthesize and store are the energy sources of all other organisms. All green plants and many planktonic organisms are autotrophs, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars by photsynthesis." A heterotroph is: "Any living organism that obtains its energy from organic substances produced by other organisms. All animals and fungi are heterotrophs, and they include herbivores, carnivores, and saprotrophs (those that feed on dead animal and plant material)."

How big does a catahoula leopard bearded collie mix get?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well a Catahoula is generally a big dog, so if the collie was smaller, then the size of the puppies would be smaller.

I have two Catahoula Leopards/Spaniels. They are: male;75lbs female;50lbs.
They are smaller than the average catahoula, because of the spaniel they were bred with.


I would say a collie/catahoula mix would be the same, maybe a little lighter. (male;70lbs, female;45lbs.)

Where does the African leopard shelter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The African leopard is adapted to many habitats and so the shelters of the leopard is quite a huge range. Leopards like to drape over trees and catch prey while doing so, living in rocky surroundings and grassy shelters. When a leopard has cubs, it is very protective of them, as hunters like: * hyenas and * lions may hunt them while they are small and "bite-sized". So it is very important within the first few days of the cubs being born, that the group of leopards find a safe and shady place to stay while the cubs are growing and getting big enough for self defense. ----
