Which Pet Lives the Longest: Find Out Before Getting a Pet
Many people have doubts before getting a pet.
The lifespan of dogs and cats is quite short even with good care, therefore, the more attached we become to our pets, the more painful it is to lose them later.
However, there are pets that live no less than people, and some are even able to outlive a person.
Let's figure out which long-living pets can be kept in an apartment.
Long-lived animals
Parrots are undoubtedly considered to be the true record holders in terms of life expectancy. For example, grey parrots live 50-70 years, and bright macaws can live in captivity for up to 80 years.
Those who prefer reptiles also benefit, because turtles are not only unpretentious and quiet, but also live for about 40 years.
Predator lovers should take a closer look at domesticated foxes, which live up to 25 years.
Unfortunately, rodent lovers are out of luck. Almost all small animals live no more than 5 years. The only exception is the chinchilla: this furry little animal can live about 20 years next to a person.
