and life span is not particularly strong
Of the 30 known vertebrate species that can live above
the age of 100, 26 are ectotherms. Therefore, scientists
are curious as to how these animals are able to delay
their inevitable demise for so long. The study revealed
various findings, including a correlation between
protective physical or chemical characteristics, such as
hard armour, spines, shells, or a poisonous bite, and
slower ageing. Those defensive physical characteristics
were also associated with longer lifespans. These are
technically referred to as ‘protective phenotypes’ in the
scientific community and can make all the difference.
