Growing up: ages of people and pets, and the "dog years" myth, sentence 1

A hamster is old at 2; a mayfly lives only about a day as a flying adult, after a year or more as a nymph underwater; a cat often lives 12 to 18 years; and a tortoise can outlive its owner's whole family: Jonathan, on the island of St Helena, is thought to have hatched around 1832.

Who acts: hamster, mayfly, cat, tortoise · What happens: be, live, fly, outlive, think, hatch · To what, where: 2, 12, whole family, island, Jonathan, 1832
