    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear

    The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a large bear native to the Arctic and nearby areas. It is closely related to the brown bear, and the two species can interbreed.The polar bear is the largest extant species of bear and land carnivore, with adult males weighing 300–800 kg (660–1,760 lb).

  3. Maximum life span - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_life_span

    A theoretical study also suggested that the maximum human life expectancy at birth is limited by the human life characteristic value δ, which is around 104 years. [17] In 2017, the United Nations conducted a Bayesian sensitivity analysis of global population burden based on life expectancy projection at birth in future decades. The 95% ...

  4. Rate-of-living theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-of-living_theory

    Support for this theory has been bolstered by studies linking a lower basal metabolic rate (evident with a lowered heartbeat) to increased life expectancy. [5] [6] [7] This has been proposed by some to be the key to why animals like the giant tortoise can live over 150 years.

    This is a list of maximum recorded animal lifespans in captivity.Only animals from the classes of the Chordata phylum are included. [1] On average, captive animals (especially mammals) live longer than wild animals.

  8. Allen's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen's_rule

    The polar bear has stocky limbs and very short ears that are in accordance with the predictions of Allen's rule, so does the snow leopard. [5] In 2007, R.L. Nudds and S.A. Oswald studied the exposed lengths of seabirds ' legs and found that the exposed leg lengths were negatively correlated with Tm axdiff (body temperature minus minimum ambient ...

  9. Longevity escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity_escape_velocity

    "The first 1000-year-old is probably only ~10 years younger than the first 150-year-old."–Aubrey de Grey, 2005 [1]. In the life extension movement, longevity escape velocity (LEV), actuarial escape velocity [2] or biological escape velocity [3] is a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy (not life expectancy at birth) is extended longer than the time that is passing.
