The average life span of the Asian elephant in the wild is a hearty 60 years, but according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest elephant ever was Lin Wang, a pachyderm who lived to 86 years of age.
The adult elephant also experiences similar adult human illnesses which are attributed to age. The elephant can suffer from cardiovascular problems, as well as suffering from the age-related arthritis. Despite these age-related illnesses, the elephant can live a long natural life if it is not poached or culled. The average life span of an elephant is about 70 years. During their long lives the female herds will continue to nurture their young, while the male herds roam great distances in search of female herds.
