What Lifespan Means
This game uses maximum longevity or lifespan statements for animals, measured in years.
- Most values come from AnAge, a curated animal ageing and longevity database.
- A maximum lifespan is a record or compiled upper bound, not the age most individuals reach.
- Some records come from captivity and some from the wild; the reveal data keeps that source context.
Longevity is a record of what has been observed, not a promise written into the species.
