Does an elephant live longer than a giraffe?

No. The giant tortoise has the longest lifespan of the three animals. Giant tortoises have been known to live as long as 200 years. Elephants live 60 to 70 years. Giraffes in the wild live up to about 25 years. So they have the shortest lifespan of the three animals, the giant tortoise, African elephant, and the giraffe.
