why do animals have shorter lifespans than human beings?

313 viewsBiologyOther

I’ve had several pets die of old age, and I found this very interesting, think about it, out of all the animals on Earth, only a select few can live for more than 70 years (the average lifespan of a human being).

Animals bodies wear out faster due to faster metabolisms and smaller sizes. Their bodies have to work harder and faster. Larger animals tend to live longer because they have slower metabolic rates
