What about an elephant?

The Fossa (a cat-like carnivore native to Madagascar) has been known to live up to 20 years in captivity.  Their lifespan in the wild is probably somewhat shorter.\n\nInteresting enough, in addition to breaking up lemur parties by ripping their limbs off, Fossae have the ability to completely evert their rectum.  I don't know why you'd want to, but the Fossa can do it.

Depends really on how long it lives.

In captivity, indoor cats typically live 14 to 20 years, though the oldest-known cat lived to age 36. Domestic cats tend to live longer if they are not permitted to go outdoors (reducing the risk of injury from fights or accidents) and if they are spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering a cat also decreases the risk of testicular and ovarian cancer, and female cats spayed before their first litter benefit from reduced risk of mammary cancer. Feral cats living in modern urban environments often live only two years, or less. Feral cats in maintained colonies can live much longer; the British Cat Action Trust reported a 19-year-old feral female. The oldest feral cat was Mark who was maintained by the British charity Cats Protection and who reached 26 years of age.

The elephants’ ancestors looked more like pigs than elephants, and were about that size.  As elephants’ ancestors evolved they gradually be came larger, with larger heads of course.  The neck of an elephant is very short.  A long neck would not be able hold such a heavy head.  With a short neck an elephant cannot graze like a horse.  As the elephant evolved the upper lip of the elephant became the trunk we see today.

How long do dolphins actually live? \n\nIt depends on which species you are talking about. Bottlenose dolphins may live for 50 years, but most only live for 25 years.

About one week depending on the species.

It depends on the species. Large apple snails can live over 10 years. Small pond, ramshorn, trumpet, etc. snails may live 3-6 years but most die before that when they are eaten or due to poor water quality or something else. Trapdoor snails may live 5-10 years. The average run-of-the-mill small aquarium snail is lucky to live a few years with all the predators and dangers in the average tank. But, really there is no definitive answer to your question. I don't know that anyone's done real studies on this. It's just word of mouth as to how long someone's snail may have lived.

A written explanation and a video here you go have fun.\nElephants are slow and difficult to breed with an average of only 4 offspring during a lifetime of 60 years.\n\nAs a result of the isolation of wild elephant populations, the gene pool has become depleted with the result being inbreeding.  Breeding success in captivity is poor; however, there have been recent advances in the use of artificial insemination resulting in successful elephant births.  Unfortunately the cost is very high and unaffordable to most elephant owners.\n\nAn adult male will join the herd for mating season after dueling with others for mating rights. These mating conflicts can sometimes lead to death from seriously inflicted wounds.  The mating bull will drive all other herd males away and will remain with the cow for about three weeks. The male genetalia are housed internally.\n\nCows are in estrus only 2 to 4 days during their cycle that lasts about 4 months and under ideal habitat conditions, females reach sexual maturity at about the age of 10.  If conditions are difficult sexual maturity may be delayed several years. \n\nThe gestation period is 22 months and one or sometimes two calves are born. When the birth is taking place, the other herd cows will form a circle around her, presumably for protection.  If the baby is born in an area where there are large carnivores, the mother will blow dust over the newborn in order to dry it and keep the scent of birth from being carried in the air.  A newborn calf weighs 200 pounds and stands about three feet tall at the shoulder. One of the first things a calf smells is the dung of the mother that is dropped shortly after the calf born; this associates her scent to her baby. The calf can stand two hours after birth and it will begin to suckle. The young are weaned at about 2 years old. Their rate of growth, the age at which they reach puberty, their life span, and their gerontic (last phase of life) progression is similar to that of man. Elephants live to be about 70 years old.\nCheck out this link here is a video of them matting. I gfound it on google. Hope this answeres you question.

From my searches it looks like they live about 2 months. Check the table in the link below to see.

The average weight for an adult male African elephant is 6 tons or 12,000 pounds. The heaviest ever was 12 tons or 24,000 pounds. Females weigh a bit less. Indian elephants weigh less than African elephants but even a female Indian elephant, the lightest, can easily weigh 9,000 pounds which is 4 and a half tons.

The male elephant mounts the female from the rear.  Female elephants only ovulate once every sixteen weeks and are receptive to breeding for only a few days at that time.\nAfter a gestation of about 22 months the baby is born.  A female elephant will weigh about 235 pounds at birth.  A male will be about thirty pounds more, (on average).  However, birth weights vary greatly.\nwww.elephantsanctuary.org

Apparently upto 4 years, depending on species. See \n\nhttp://www.seahorses.de/seahorses.htm\n\nAnother site,\n\nhttp://seahorse.fisheries.ubc.ca/biology4.html\n\nhas this to say\n\nNatural lifespans for seahorses are virtually unknown. Most estimates come from laboratory or aquarium observations. Known lifespans for seahorse species range from about one year in the smaller species to an average of three to five years for the larger species.

Some live for up to a year while others live only a couple of weeks!
