What Bird Lives the Longest? What bird lives the longest? A: The albatross has one of the longest lifespans among birds, with the ability to live up to 60 years. There have been other rare birds that have broken this record in captivity, such as a sulphur-crested cockatoo that lived for 80 years in a zoo. Continue Reading.

- The Real Survivor. By all accounts the longest-lived creatures on earth are turtles. It may have something to do with the slowed-down lifestyle and perhaps the protective armor. At any rate, tales abound of giant tortoises of the Galapagos, Seychelles, Madagascar, and other islands that lived well over 100 years.

California condor Its huge 3.0 m (9.8 ft) wingspan is the widest of any North American bird, and its weight of up to 12 kg (26 lb) nearly equals that of the trumpeter swan, the heaviest among native North American bird species. The condor is a scavenger and eats large amounts of carrion.It is one of the world's longest-living birds, with a lifespan of up to 60 years.

Why doesn't the moon rotate on its own axis like the earth does? The moon does rotate on its own axis, but at exactly the right speed to keep the same face turned toward the Earth at all times. (If it didn’t rotate on its axis, then sometimes the “far side” of the Moon would be facing the Earth as it revolved around us).

Largest Flying Bird Ever Had 6.4-Meter Wingspan Based on fossils discovered in 1983 during excavations for a new airport terminal, scientists have modeled the flight of the largest flying bird ever reported. Named Pelagornis sandersi, the extinct bird had a 6.4-meter wingspan -- double that of today’s largest fliers. A bird’s flight ability depends on a balance between its body size and the lift forces generated by its wings. Researchers previously thought that wingspans wider than 5 meters made it impossible for flight.

- Birds live worldwide and range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) bee hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) ostrich. They rank as the class of tetrapods with the most living species, at approximately ten thousand, with more than half of these being passerines, sometimes known as perching birds or, less accurately, as songbirds.irds live and breed in most terrestrial habitats and on all seven continents, reaching their southern extreme in the snow petrel's breeding colonies up to 440 kilometres (270 mi) inland in Antarctica. The highest bird diversity occurs in tropical regions.

- We determine species life spans usually from captive animals because we can track their ages. So, that's how I arrived at the answer--from animals in captivity. The longest-lived captive animal is the giant tortoise (177 years) and the shortest, the gastrotich (3 days). By the way, Forest Preserve District of Cook County presents examples of extreme old age in a nature bulletin (No. 486-A, dated March 24, 1973).

THE WORLD'S LONGEST WINGSPAN FOR A BIRDTHE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST WINGSPAN FOR A BIRD. If you find yourself chilling in the South Polar Ocean, keep an eye out for the wandering albatross, the bird with the longest wingspan. Spotting it should not be too difficult as from tip to tip the wings of the wandering albatross average over 10 feet in length with a 12 foot wingspan being not that uncommon. There have been unsubstantiated reports of measurements taken of wingspans exceeding 17 feet. The wandering albatross' wingspan is up to 3 times that of it's 4.4 foot body length.

World's first bird? Fossil may qualify as oldest 1 of 2. A fossil dug up by a Chinese farmer was recently identified as what could be the world's oldest bird. Paleontologist Pascal Godefroit found the specimen, called {iAurornis xui}, in the archives of a museum in Yizhou last year, where it had languished for several years.

How long Do Parrots Live â Lifespan of Parrots Macaws are by far one of the longest living parrots. They have a lifespan of about 80 – 90 years. Some have even lived up to 100 years. Macaws are found in South America, Mexico, and Caribbean. Now you can well imagine how long do parrots live!

- Birds can be very long-lived in captivity. One Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (a common Australian parrot made famous by the TV show Baretta) lived most of his 80-plus years in a zoo. Captive Canada Geese have lived for 33 years, House Sparrows 23 years, and Northern Cardinals 22 years.

Maximum life span Greenland Sharks are currently the vertebrate species with the longest known lifespan. An examination of 28 specimens in one study published in 2016 determined by radiocarbon dating that the oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for about 392 ± 120 years (a minimum of 272 years and a maximum of 512 years).

Early bird beat Archaeopteryx to worm by 10m years Early bird beat Archaeopteryx to worm by 10m years. The fossilised 'Dawn bird', Aurornis xui, lived 160m years ago and had downy feathers but was probably unable to fly. Aurornis xui 'pushes Archaeopteryx off its perch' as the oldest known member of the bird lineage.

What is the longest living small pet? Best Answer: Birds are very long lived animals. Even a budgie (probably the most common pet bird, also commonly called parakeet) will live 15 years. A cockatiel can live 25. Guinea pigs usually live about 8, and chinchillas can live 15. Mice, rats, and hamsters are good pets but only live 1-4 years.

Exercise intensity: How to measure it Here's an example: You stop exercising and take your pulse for 15 seconds, getting 33 beats. Multiply 33 by 4, to get 132. If you're 45 years old, this puts you in the middle of your target heart rate zone for vigorous exercise, since that zone is 123 to 149 beats per minute.
