A lot of factors are involved
*Your metabolism
*The environment
*The will to live

A human cannot survive 5 days without water, the organs start to shutdown but can survive longer without food provided water is taken.

This is very informative but I disagree with that of a dog.

If you don't feed a dog for just a day, you can see discomfort from the way it acts. I personally believe that human can adapt to hunger that dogs

1. Olm

Time without food: 10 years

Olms are amphibians that live in water in underground caves throughout Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. They have no pigment in their skin, eyes that don’t work properly (it’s blind), fantastic hearing and smell, little feet with toes and gills. It’s also known as a cave salamander.
They prey on small crabs and snails and are extremely good at storing food in their body as lipids and glycogen. When there isn’t much food around they lower their metabolic rate and become inactive, living from their nutrient reserves.
Documented trials have demonstrated that these creatures can live for up to 10 years without food. [/s]

Are you sure about the 1 year for a snake. Hope you are not counting the period it takes to digest a swallowed animal meal.
