Animal Age Converter?

Hi folks!





Is there any website (or does anyone know mentally) how to convert an animals' age into approx human years?





i mean if a dog's 7 years old, he's approx 50 human years old.


(dog's age multiplied by 7 %26amp; add 1)





does anyone know the conversion for cats / horses / pigs / elephants / tigers / lions etc.





Thanks





Season's Greetings!

Animal Age Converter?
Cats should have the same life span as a dog an average of 15 yrs.





I haven't found a converter but that would be a good idea for some one to create.





Although I did find this:


Most animals have a life span far less than that of humans. Right now the average life span for a human is between 75 to 80 years of age. How do animals compare?


Average Life Spans





The average life spans listed below are from the most years expected to live to the least years expected to live. Of course, the life expectancy of an animal has many factors, including its environment, its food supply, and whether or not it is captive.





Galapagos tortoise - 200+ years





Box turtle, carp - 100 years





Gray whale - 70 years





Alligator, chimpanzee, African parrot, humpback whale - 50 years





African elephant - 35 years





Dolphin, gorilla - 30 years





Horse, snake - 20 years





Black bear - 18 years





Tiger - 16 years





Lion, lobster, domestic cat, cow, tarantula, - 15 years





Domestic dog - 13 years





Camel, moose, sheep - 12 years





Ferret, giraffe, pig, squirrel - 10 years





Chicken, white-tailed deer, goat - 8 years





Kangaroo - 7 years





Chipmunk - 6 years





Beaver, domestic rabbit - 5 years





Guinea pig, hamster - 4 years





Mouse - 3 years





Opossum - 1 year





Worker bee - 5 weeks





Adult housefly - 4 weeks





Figures come from various reliable and accurate sources.


Extreme Life Spans





These animals have far exceeded their life expectancy. This does not happen often, so they are worth mentioning.





Parrot - 80 years





Elephant - 69 years





Alligator - 68 years





Catfish - 60 years





Eagle, eel, giant salamander - 55 years





Horse - 50 years





Cobra - 28 years





Queen ant - 15 years





Figures come from various zoos and aquariums from around the world.





In the mammal species, it would appear that larger animals tend to live longer than smaller ones. Take for instance this scenario. Man lives longer than many mammals. Next comes, elephants, monkeys, horses, and down the line to the tiny house mouse that lives the shortest period of time. Notice how the bigger mammals live longer than the smaller ones?





But, there are definitely exceptions to this rule. For example, in a same species scenario, larger dogs do not live as long as smaller dogs. Mutts (or mixed breeds) tend to live longer than pure bred dogs, and it does not really matter what size you are talking about.





Myth: One human year equals seven years for a dog.





Fact: To calculate a dog's age, use this formula:





10.5 dog years per human year for the first 2 years, then 4 dog years per human year for each year after.
