However, crocodile lifespans among species range from 25 to 70 years. Crocodiles in captivity have been known to reach 100 years old.
What’s most interesting about crocodiles is that they don’t die of old age. They do not die from biological aging. Instead, they continue to grow and grow until some external factor causes them to die.
Research conducted by Siddiqui, Ruqaiyyah, et al. “Longevity, cellular senescence, and the gut microbiome: lessons to be learned from crocodiles,” explores how a crocodile’s microbiome may influence this antiaging ability. The research conducted found that crocodile serum depicted potent growth inhibitory effects as well as cytotoxic effects against cancer cells investigated. In lamens terms, crocodile gut bacteria may work to inhibit the survival of cancer cells.
Thanks to this extraordinary anti-aging factor, crocodiles have been often referred to as living fossils. As such an extraordinary reptile, their lifespan is still a mystery. |
