Whale study findings explore the evolution of menopause across species
Fox News
New research on menopause in whales reveals that females of these species live significantly longer after their reproductive years compared to non-menopausal species.
The scientists compared the lifespans of 32 toothed whale species. They found that in the five menopausal species - killer whales, false killer whales, beluga whales, narwhals and short-finned pilot whales - the females live about four decades longer than the females of non-menopausal species of similar size.
