How Long Animals Can Go Without Food

What animal can survive the longest without eating? Food equals fuel for every living being on Earth. But there are creatures that can live much longer — or much shorter — than we humans can without any “refueling.” For example, sharks only feed when necessary, being able to swim around hungry for 70 days. And they don’t eat much: 3-7 pounds per day is usually enough for a shark to be content. By the way, have you ever wondered how long can humans survive without food? Well, given enough water, we can go without food for about 2 months! It's not a long time, especially compared with creatures that survive the most extreme conditions on the planet and live happily without food or water for 30 years. Wow! How’s that for survival skills? #animalfacts #amazingfacts #brightside Other videos you might like: 10 Unique Animals You Won’t Believe Exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8mxT7lnCuo& 17 Animals That Can Do Impossible Things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5e03Ytec44& The Shortest and Longest Lifespans of Animals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDkI68ItoYM& Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightgram/ 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

The Shortest and Longest Lifespans of Animals

Time. Tick tock. We live only a tiny fraction of time that our planet has been around for. Even humanity itself is very young. But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality. See for yourself. Mayfly has the shortest lifespan on Earth — 24 hours or less. Greenland shark lives over 270 years. It's the longest-living vertebrate. But there are creatures who live over 2,000 years or even... forever! Yup, one of them is biologically immortal. It can go back to being polyp and grow up again infinitely...

Why can't some birds fly? - Gillian Gibb

Check out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/teded View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-can-t-some-birds-fly-gillian-gibb Though the common ancestor of all modern birds could fly, many different bird species have independently lost their flight. Flight can have incredible benefits, especially for escaping predators, hunting and traveling long distances. But it also has high costs: consuming huge amounts of energy and limiting body size and weight. Gillian Gibb explores what makes birds give up the power of flight.
