 1 1|          1~THE reasons for some animals being long-lived and others
 2 1|         is not clear whether in animals and plants universally it

 4 4|      less liable to perish than animals (many plants are annuals),
 5 4|  annuals), nor have sanguineous animals the pre-eminence (for the
 6 4|        than certain sanguineous animals). Neither is it the bloodless
 7 4|     Neither is it the bloodless animals that live longest (for molluscs

 9 4|      them among the sanguineous animals rather than among the bloodless,
10 4|     together, the longest-lived animals fall among sanguineous animals
11 4|  animals fall among sanguineous animals which have feet, e.g. man
12 4|        for the other long-lived animals too happen to be of a large
13 5|      Again the humid element in animals must not be small in quantity,
14 5|     This is why both plants and animals that are large are, as a
15 5|      man lives longer than some animals which are larger; for animals
16 5|   animals which are larger; for animals live longer though there

18 5|        female.~The same kind of animals are longer-lived in warm
19 5|        larger size. The size of animals of cold constitution illustrates
20 5|       countries the humidity in animals is more of a watery nature,
21 5|    Consequently it happens that animals with little or no blood
