New findings indicate whales can live up to 150 years, overturning previous lifespan estimates

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • A recent study published in Science Advances reveals that some whale species, particularly the southern right whale, can exceed a lifespan of 150 years.
  • The research indicates that the median lifespan is around 73.4 years, with some individuals living over 131.8 years, challenging earlier estimates of 70 years.
  • Scientists utilized decades of photo records and advanced statistical methods to uncover the true longevity potential masked by historical industrial whaling.
  • The findings have significant conservation implications, as they offer insights into the reproductive patterns and recovery potential for this endangered species.
  • The study also contrasts the lifespan of southern right whales with their northern counterparts, who face greater threats and have a median lifespan of only 22 years.
