This varies from species to species, but for example in captivity a eagle owl can live up to 40 years old where as a barn owl might only live 10-12 year. But for sure owls live longer in captivity than in the wild, this is because life is much easier in captivity.

Burrowing owls migrate during the winter but are found in New Mexico all year. They like dry grasslands and move into underground burrows, often previously dug by other animals.

Burrows provide a safe havens from other animals that hunt them and from the weather. Unfortunately, burrows are often disturbed by people and domestic dogs and cats. In places without suitable burrows, artificial burrows in the form of nest boxes may be used.

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.

Since owls are site specific, they return to the same nesting area year after year. The nest can only be destroyed if a permit from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission has been issued. Owls can be attracted to starter burrows on already developed properties nearby.

You'd think that would be a simple question, with a simple answer. Unfortunately, every source I've found gives different information: Britanica Online says the lifespan of a domestic cat in captivity is 21 years (in context, this seems to be the maximum age of the vast majority of otherwise healthy cats!!!). The Tidycat website once indicated that the average Russian Blue lives 18 years (I couldn't find a reference to persian lifespan). On the HomeArts Ask the Vet website, Dr.

Mono Lake Brine Shrimp have two to three generations every year, and they live for up to 6 months. They all die off by the end of the year as the water cools. Cysts hatch the following April and the cycle repeats. Click here for more on Mono Lake Brine Shrimp. top

Head lice live about a month after hatching. It takes about a week for an egg to mature and hatch. The nymph louse grows to maturity in about a week to ten days. This leaves about three weeks of active life in the hair.

The average life span of most giant breeds is about 8-10 years. I know of Danes living to 10-12 years, but right now unfortunately that is the exception rather than the rule. There are a few health problems which afflict the Great Dane breed: growth problems (HOD, PANO and OCD), hip dysplasia (OFA and Penn-Hip tests), and bloat/GDV/torsion are primary concerns. Wobblers, thyroid problems, and problems with the eyes (CERF test) also appear in the breed. Se our HEALTH links for more info:

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)

As long as they wish. Millions of years if they want to. And their physical bodies are forever young, because they can regenerate any cell in their bodies at will.

http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/database/Biology/Original/b00054d.html says that the life span of spiders can vary from a few months to 20 years.

Most people with lupus can live a normal life span if they are properly treated, follow their doctor's advice, and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Bees live for 6 weeks when gathering nectar during the summer. Their wings gradually wear away from constant activity. Those that are alive in the later fall live till spring and care for the larva hatched from eggs laid in late winter. These worker bees die before the honey flow starts again in the spring. The queen bee can live for 3-4 years.

Gray wolves in the wild have an average life span of 6 to 8 years, but have been known to live up to 13 years in the wild and 16 years in captivity. Red wolves in the wild have an average life span of 8 to 9 years, but have been known to live up to 12 years in the wild and 16 years in captivity.
