Since you are asking about the average life span of a whale, then the age ranges from 40 to 70 years. These are the only whales that are not endangered. However, the longest life span of a whale is over 200 years and they are the bowhead whales.

For healthy and un-endangered whales, the average age lies between 40-70 years. This may also depend on other factors like the type of whale. Blue whales are known to live longer than other species.

The average lifespan of whales varies depending on the species, but generally ranges from 50 to 80 years. For example, the average lifespan of a humpback whale is estimated to be 45 to 50 years, while the bowhead whale is known to have the longest lifespan of any mammal, living for over 100 years in some cases. Orcas, or killer whales, have a lifespan of around 60 years for males and up to 90 years for females.

While many ocean lovers can easily identify the iconic sperm whale, the charismatic humpback and the wily orca, not all are familiar with the bowhead. According to scientists, this colossal year-round Arctic dweller may live 200-plus years.
