can live even longer. Most animals, have far shorter lives than humans.

rodent, lives for about three years. If you get one as a pet, don’t plan on having it
until you go away to college. Guppies, the popular pet fish, live a bit longer. They
reach 5 years in age. Giant spiders can live a surprisingly long time, as long as 20
years.
What about large animals? Of the biggest animals have similar life spans. The
maximum life span of an elephant is 77 years. The maximum life span of a blue
whale is 80 years. Bears are another large animal that can live for quite a long time.

can live even longer. Some species of turtles can reach over 100 years in age.
