Many animals live for many years, exceeding the century mark. Most of these live in water, basically invertebrate organisms except for the shark and the Greenland whale, with the first terrestrials being turtles, parrots and crocodiles.

In contrast, others have a very short life cycle, sometimes only a few days: many of these animals are insects, but also a reptile.
