Candida albicans is the most commonly isolated species, and can cause infections (candidiasis or thrush) in humans and other animals. In winemaking, some species of Candida can potentially spoil wines.
Killer whales have no natural predators (they are the top predators of the oceans) and can live to about 50-80 years old. Killer whales have been hunted by humans but not with enthusiasm as it takes 21 killer whales to produce the same amount of oil as 1 sperm whale.
Female killer whale (killer whales are actually part of the dolphin species) that live in the wild for example have been known to live for up to 70 â 80 years, although the average is about 50 years. And male killer whales can live to be 50 â 60 years old, but usually live until around their 30âs. In captivity however most killer whales usually donât live beyond their 20âs. As you can see from this example a whales environment and social structure can be detrimental in determining its longevity.
