This discovery showed the longevity of the bowhead whale is much greater than originally thought. Researchers at CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, estimated that bowhead whales' maximum natural lifespan is 268 years based on genetic analysis.Antarctic blue whale
The Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus ssp. Intermedia) is the biggest animal on the planet, weighing up to 400,000 pounds (approximately 33 elephants) and reaching up to 98 feet in length.Species
The Beluga whale has an average lifespan of 40 – 60 years.
The Blue whale has an average lifespan of 70 – 90 years.
The Killer whale has an average lifespan of 30 – 60 years.
The Bowhead whale has an average lifespan of 100 – 200 years.
The Fin whale has an average lifespan of 60 – 100 years.
Why can bowhead whales live so long : Bowhead whales are the longest-lived mammals known, with one male estimated to have been about 211 years old when it was killed by hunters. Now it has been found they have a gene duplication that appears to slow the division of cells, allowing the whales to live longer – but at the cost of reduced male fertility.
What animal can survive 1000 years
The tubeworm Escarpia laminata that lives in deep sea cold seeps regularly reaches the age of between 100 and 200 years, with some individuals determined to be more than 300 years old. Some may live for over 1,000 years.
What animal can live up to 500 years : Greenland Shark
Greenland sharks live for between 300 and 500 years and are the longest-living vertebrate. They take life very slowly, moving at an average of 0.76 mph. They grow about a cm every year, and females may not reach sexual maturity until they are 100 to 150 years old – that's one long childhood!
IN 1989, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts detected an unknown sonic presence at 52 hertz. It was initially thought to be from a submarine, but marine biologist William Watkins later determined that it was the sonar signature of a whale, which he gave the nickname “52”.
The whale in the story, one I call Blue 55, is made up of the few characteristics we know about 52 Blue, plus my own imagination and what I learned from researching whales. Of course we'll never know if this whale is truly lonely, or why he keeps singing his unusual song that nothing in the ocean responds to.
Can a blue whale live 100 years
Scientists have discovered that by counting the layers of a deceased whale's waxlike earplugs, they can get a close estimate of the animal's age. The oldest blue whale found using this method was determined to be around 110 years old. Average lifespan is estimated at around 80 to 90 years.Lifespan & Reproduction
The average lifespan for male killer whales is about 30 years, but they can live up to at least 60 years. Females typically live about 50 years, but can live up to at least 90 years in the wild.Based on mathematical models, our longest potential lifespan is around 150 years. But, we know that genetic manipulation of model organisms increases it by up to 100%. So, humans can live up to 244 years. But he doesn't stop there.
Glass sponges
Glass sponges are considered the oldest animals on Earth—and it's by a long shot. Scientists estimate that they can live for more than 10,000 years, possibly 15,000 years maximum. One glass sponge observed by researchers in the Ross Sea, a bay of Antarctica, is thought to be the oldest living animal on the planet.
Can any animal live 1000 years : Originally Answered: Are there any creatures which can survive 1,000 years Glass sponges can live for thousands of years: Animals of this and similar species of Antarctic sponges grow extremely slowly in the low temperatures. Estimates based on growth rates suggest a very long lifespan in this and similar animals.
Who is blue 55 : Iris is a deaf middle school student who runs away with her deaf grandmother to the coast of Oregon in search for a very special whale, Blue 55, who sings at a much higher frequency than other whales, leaving him isolated.
Did they ever find 52
It is an unusually high frequency for whale vocalisations, and Watkins was intrigued enough to search for 52 until his death in 2004. But despite picking up 52's call every year, Watkins never found the mysterious whale.
Its call has been detected regularly in many locations since the late 1980s and appears to be the only individual emitting a whale call at this frequency. However, the whale itself has never been sighted; it has only been heard via hydrophones.A 52-Hertz Whale is a book that is almost entirely without a whale as a character, despite the title. It is filled, however, with characters who just might relate to a 52-hertz whale (“the only individual emitting a call at this frequency and hence . . . the world's loneliest whale”).
