Cancer is a creepy and mysterious thing. While we tried to understand it, to get better at killing it, we discovered a biological paradox that remains unsolved to this day: large animals seem to be immune to cancer. Which doesnβt make any sense - the bigger a being, the more cancer it should have. To understand why, we first need to take a look at the nature of cancer itself.

I have a theory. So, in the wild weak or βwrongβ animals will die and the strong will survive to make babies which we all know. Well cancer is genetic so in the wild cancer genes wonβt be passed down because the animal will die. In humans we have figured out how to help with cancer and have saved millions. This mean we might be making cancer happen more and more. Maybe in the future cancer will be something Avery one gets and has to take like one shot (itβs the future so we have good technology against it)

I would think of the paradox like this:

Big animals: we use the cancer to kill the cancer.
Arch Judge
Human population: 8 billion
Whale, elephants, other "cancer rare-animals": less than 250 million
If their population numbered 8 billion, the prevalence of cancer would be similar to humans. We won't find a cure for cancer by studying what little is left of our megafauna, the only way to find an answer is to venture away from this rock and onto other planets.
Bulletproof Recon
Or maybe due to the large amount of blood circulating in large animals, the white cells have enough contact with the cancer to actually adapt and kill the cancer entirely. Which might mean if your blood were cloned or taken out but by bit through a few years and cooled and then used to cycle through your body, maybe it would force your bodyβs defense system to learn to adapt to cancer.

Hmmm. Im wondering what the quality of the studies are. How they determine that they dont get cancer. We are talking about animals that have been essientially hunted to small populations. This extensive hunting may have culled out the vast majority of individuals that were susceptible to cancer to begin with. Things that are cancerous and sick, may be unfit for the demanding proccess of natural survival becomming prey to man and other predators, removing them from the gene pool. This would serve to reduce the factors increasing cancer within populations to essientially exogenous causes such as carcinogens and radiation and natural mutations.
Their reproductive rates also tend to be much slower, which means that any genetic factor would propagate slower through their populations. They are also mucj slower growing than other animals or more correctly they have more cycles of growth spurts in their life time. And what this really means is that we just haven been finding the cancer.
I do wonder though if we took one of these large animals and feed it large amounts of refined sugars, restricted its mobility, subjected it to heavy stress, and surrounded it with large ammounts of known carcinogenic materials, what would happen.
