      There are many factors that affect how long an animal lives. Something to note is that some animals are hunted and others hunt. Other reason include, how fast they grow, speed of ageing, how big or small they are etc. This something scientists are trying to fully understand.

      Probably for the same reasons we do – diet, environment and genes.
