Marine mammal longevity study reveals remarka
<p>A new study provides compelling evidence that animal care and management practices at zoos and aquariums have significantly improved over time. Study authors examined 200 years' worth of data to examine life expectancy and lifespan equality in marine mammal species and found that the life expectancy of the four marine mammal species studies has increased by over three times. Additionally, the life expectancy of these species in zoos and aquariums is currently two to three times longer than their counterparts in the wild.</p>
