Ans: We all are familiar with the fact that scavenger animals tend to depend on dead animals and plant remains as their food. So, this approach of getting their food can also have an effect on the lifespan of the scavenger animal. There are many different types of scavenger animals in the world and hence there is a difference in their lifespan as well. While animals such as leopards and hyenas live more than 12 years in total, there are other organisms such as beetles and microscopic organisms that don’t tend to have that much of a lifespan. It actually depends on the food that they consume and the quantity of it as well.
