      is the 40 year gap a natural phenomenon or human contributed?

        Sex gap, female orcas live up to 90 years while male orcas live around 50. Older female orcas help take care of the calfs in the pod and so therefore live longer. Some really old male orcas have been spotted but they are a very rare exception.
