24 Animals' Lifespans Compared to Our Own

Edited By: Tony A.

Font Size:

A+ A-

The animal kingdom is full of amazing wildlife with a wide array of characteristics. They experience the world differently both from each other and from us. I have often wondered about the differing life-spans of all these creatures - can you imagine living only for a few days? Can you envisage living for centuries? I've put a list of 24 animals together in order of their life expectancy, and under each animal is a picture of one of us humans at that same age. How far down the list do you think mankind can go?

To see the human picture click on the animal image.

You can click back and forth as much as you like.
