Experts say age does not increase the risk of death or infertility in specific species.

In the study, experts from the University of Southern Denmark examined the age and life of 46 species, including 11 mammals, 12 other vertebrate species, 10 invertebrate species and 12 plastic species. tree and 1 species of green algae.

'In general and surveying many species, we found many cases that did not follow this fundamental hypothesis', according to team leader Owen Jones.

Animals such as desert turtles, which face high mortality at an early stage of life, live longer over time.

Meanwhile, water has been discovered living for centuries.
