Interesting .

Na to buy 2 crocodiles and keep them as pets. Feed them a life cow once in every 4 years. Within 4 years, it must have reproduced like 3 times.
Kill the parents for meat and start a new cycle with the offspring.

Meat no go lack for your kitchen.

6. Snakes

Time without food: 1 year

Like other reptiles, snakes cannot regulate their body temperature. When they get cold their body temperature lowers and, when it’s cold enough, they go into a state of dormancy. Unlike hibernation where the animal actually goes to sleep, snakes remain awake and they are said to ‘brumate’.
Snakes will normally find a burrow or somewhere in the dirt to brumate as the dirt protects them from the worst of the cold they are sheltering from. The snakes metabolic rate in this dormant state is so low that they are able to live for long periods by surviving on the stored energy in their bodies.

5. Frogs

Time without food: 16 months

Frogs have the ability to ‘breath’ through their skins and can survive under conditions that allow this as the only way of getting oxygen into their body. Carbon dioxide and water can also pass through their skin. This is the reason frogs have to keep their skins moist.
Frogs can hibernate, or go into a dormant state that uses so little energy they can stay that way for months. This is an adaptation to their environment such as during droughts or when snow covers the landscape. In fact some species of frog allow themselves to freeze. Their internal organs are protected by high levels of glucose and when the temperature rises their heart starts again and off they go like nothing had happened.

4. Spiders

Time without food: 18 months

Spiders have an exceptionally low metabolism in comparison to other creatures. One study has put it as much as half that of comparably sized creatures. This fits with the potentially sporadic nature of their food sources and, for many spiders, spending long periods of time totally inactive.
The Rabbit Hutch spider (Steatoda bipunctata), which is found throughout North America and Europe, has been kept in captivity for 18 months without water or food and did not show any signs of distress.

3. Crocodiles

Time without food: 3 years

Crocodiles are ancient reptiles that regularly go for long periods without food. As crocodiles rely solely on the external temperature to regulate their internal body temperature (aside from panting or moving between sunshine and shade), they don’t require food to maintain a metabolism that maintains body temperature. They become more active in hot months and less active in the cooler months.

Crocodiles are very efficient at storing energy in their bodies and are capable of eating large meals. This, and their ability reduce remain motionless for long periods means they can go without food for as long as three years.

The number of days a human can live without food n water can't be accurate.. when u carry out such experiment on 5 people, it's not possible that they will die at d same day.

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.
