Why Elephants Don't Get Cancerâand What That Means for Humans Cancer is the unregulated division of cells. The more cells an animal has, the more likely any one of those cells is to go rogue, turning into a tumor. Huge mammals like whales and elephants have many more cells than humans do, which should make them much more prone to cancer.A whale has 1,000 times more cells than humans, which should mark it for cancer right from birth. But for some reason, the whale evades that fate better than we do.uge mammals like whales and elephants have many more cells than humans do, which should make them much more prone to cancer.
