Books on the breed describe the average Mastiff life span as 6-10 years. A few have lived to be 13 or 14; a tiny handful have lived to be 16-17. Assuming no accidents, an individual dog's life span will depend on its bloodlines, weight, and freedom from significant problems such as blindness, heart disease, hip or elbow dysplasia, spondylosis, immune disorders, etc. (see Questions 16 and 17 for more information on health problems).

This varies with the mosquito species and the time of the year. Some species may only live for less than a week, while others can live for several months over the winter months. (BACK)

Although staph can live on surfaces for days to weeks, it doesn’t mean that it will make a person sick. Staph has to get off the surface and onto someone’s skin, where the organism may or may not survive due to the presence of competing organisms. Even if it survives on someone’s skin, it may simply live on the skin and not cause an infection. In order to cause an infection there has to be a break in the integrity of the skin.

Well I guess that depends on who you talk to--Most farmers who are in the egg producing business will say 2 years. Those who are in the meat producing business will say 6 months--Those who keep birds as pets (with names) or who are not interested in maximum production of eggs, will find that chickens can live up to 8 or 10 years.

In very general terms, the larger a bird is, the longer its life expectancy. For small birds, such as migratory songbirds (warblers, vireos, etc.) the average life expectancy may be as little as two years. This short life expectancy is due to the many hazards birds face from birth: predators, disease, accidents, migration, starvation, habitat loss, and hunting, among others. Some individual birds have survived surprisingly long, including a cardinal (13.

The grains or plant live, with proper care as long as their owners. Kefir cultures reproduce themselves and do not know a physical death. We recommend making one litre (1½ pints) each time, though quantities of up to 2 litres is possible. Clean the Kefir grains daily by placing them in a sieve then allow medium flow of water to wash through the grains.

The average dog lives about 10-12 years. Unlike most animals, smaller breeds tend to live longer than larger ones.

Because they are destined to be VERY large dogs, basic obedience training should be a part of every Mastiff's upbringing. Adequate socialization is an extremely important part of a puppy's training. An unsocialized dog, of any breed, can become either fearful or aggressive. A well socialized Mastiff is a stable Mastiff. Most Mastiffs are easy to train because they are so eager to please, but they are generally more easily trained when young. A puppy's brain develops very rapidly.

Mastiffs are called gentle giants because of their benign and benevolent character. A Mastiff's temperament is so much a part of how it needs to be raised and cared for that many of the questions in this FAQ have incorporated one aspect or another of the Mastiff temperament in their answers. A dog this big has no NEED to growl or make menacing noises or faces to impress a would-be burglar or mugger.

A Mastiff will eat anything that is not nailed down! Mastiffs, being a giant breed, have the capability of chewing on things that most small breeds can't even get in their mouths. Oh, you meant food, huh? OK, Mastiffs do best on a food that is in the medium range for protein (20-25%), mid range for fat (12-18%) and is well balanced for calcium and phosphorus and high in iodine (3-5%).

No, if it does not have any other space at its disposal. Any type of dog, not only the Spanish Mastiff, if kept in enclosed or limited spaces will alter its psychic condition and it may get depressed, disheartened and sad, or even worse it may develop aggressiveness. A dog, if we want and we can afford it, must be part of a family that loves it and takes care of it in the most suitable way.

Cairns can live well into their teens, and most are still very active and alert at 10 years of age and older.

A Desert Locust lives a total of about three to five months although this is extremely variable and depends mostly on weather and ecological conditions. The life cycle comprises three stages: egg, hopper and adult. Eggs hatch in about two weeks (the range is 10-65 days), hoppers develop in five to six stages over a period of about 30-40 days, and adults mature in about three weeks to nine months but more frequently from two to four months.

Sperm can live in a woman's body for 5 sometimes 7 days, therefore a woman can get pregnant if she has sex up to 5 sometimes 7 days before ovulation.

Current research indicates that washed sperm can live 24-72 hours; however, it does lose potency after 12-24 hours. Another issue with IUI is that the sperm can keep on swimming beyond the fallopian tube, so the ideal window is really within 6-12 hours of the egg being released; with a larger margin before ovulation than after since the egg's viability is shorter. Sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile mucus, 2-3 days being common, so combining IUI with intercourse may provide better coverage.

There is no set time period for how long a FeLV+ cat will live. One person on the internet said they had a cat which lived for 20 years with the virus, while others have given dates as long as 10 or 12 years, although these are probably extremes. I have not found any truly long-term studies to document, but it seems that of the studies done, 83% of FeLV+ cats do not live beyond 4 years. (Hardy, et al 1980).

In the summer a worker bee only lives for about 40 days. As no young are raised over the winter months, the workers born in the autumn will live until the following spring. A queen can live up to 5 years however for the beekeeper a queen is passed her prime in her third year.

Once they reach the butterfly stage, most live an average of about 10 days. There are exceptions in the Conservatory. The Longwing butterflies can live 3 or more months.
