Episode Information

Join us as we explore the fascinating world of animal lifespans in 'Forever Wild'. Discover how a 500-year-old sleepy shark, a 200-year-old tortoise, and a 4-year-old wolf perceive time differently. Learn about the theoretically immortal jellyfish and the one-day lifespan of butterflies. Examine how mussels outlive apes, but memory is key to experiencing time. Understand that while some trees and plants live for millennia, they don't realize it. Compare brains that remember the past and those, like the octopus, that live only 12 months and may project the future.
