A cat can barely go 1 week without food, let alone 2. I'm too lazy to search the rest up.
13 Animals That Can Survive Without Food the Longest
We at Bright Side love learning new things and sharing them with you, so we’ve compiled an informative list of animals that can survive without food for the longest amount of time.
1. Cat — 2 weeks
2. Camel — 2 months
Camels use their humps to store fatty tissue which is usually used as a source of nourishment when food and water are scarce.
3. Great white shark — 3 months
4. Bear — 3 months
Bears are often referred to as the great hibernators because they can go for more than 3 months without eating, drinking, exercising, defecating, or even urinating.
5. Emperor penguin — 3 months
The male emperor penguins are forced to withstand extreme Antarctic winter cold for more than 3 months whilst protecting their eggs — and they don’t eat anything during this time.
6. Humpback whale — 6 months
Humpback whales use their blubber to store extra fat whenever they feed during the summer which, in turn, allows them to go without food for 6 months.
7. Ball python — 6 months
Ball pythons snakes have a lower metabolic rate that can conserve energy well enough for them to go for a long period of time (6 months) without food. They simply use their conserved energy to survive.
8. Galapagos tortoise — 1 year
Galapagos tortoises have very large internal storage for water and they have a slow metabolism, helping them to survive without food for an entire year.
9. Scorpion — 1 year
Scorpions eat one-third of their body weight in just one meal. This alone helps them to slow down their metabolism and handle their nutrition, making it possible to last for a year without food.
10. Burrowing frog — 1 year
A burrowing frog can stay buried in mud for a year without food. They do this by conserving energy when there’s a shortage of resources after going through a period of torpor.
11. Crocodile — 3 years
Crocodiles preserve their energy by staying motionless, thus helping them to last for 3 years without food — after enjoying a good meal, that is.
12. Olm — 10 years
When food is scarce, olms reduce their metabolic rate and activity. They can also reabsorb their own tissue, helping them last for 10 years without food.
13. Tardigrade — 30 years
A tardigrade goes into cryptobiosis, also known as a lowered metabolism. Their metabolism lowers to 0.01% of their normal rate and their water content can also drop to 1%. This makes them able to go without food for more than 30 years.
