    One important factor is body size with larger animals, on average, living longer than smaller ones. In some species, environmental factors like temperature also influence how long animals live, with a lower body temperature generally being associated with a longer lifespan.

    sorry sir...but mene Neet ki prepation ke time pda ki life span doesn't depend on size example ..parrot and crow size approximately same but variation in their life span crow -14 year and parrot 140 year..why?

    eduncle-logo-app

    The genes and environmental factors together determine the ageing of cells of body of an organism and ultimately its death. Hence, the life span of parrot and crow is inherited i.e written in genes/DNA.

    That’s because of food habit. Yes, you heard it right it’s type of food. All herbivores have long lifespan than carnivores. Crow is carnivore n parrots are herbivores or to be more scientific parrots are frugivorous (only eat fresh fruits). If you see in nature all carnivores have very less life span than herbivores. It is natural. Might be hidden in the gene and evolutionary process of formation of Animal, not clearly known by Mankind.

    sorry sir , i have not recommended it properly but not only size but temperature also plays a vital role too.

    as lifespan directly depends upon the shape and size of every living creatures one of the important point on view.
