Bigger animals consistently show higher prevalence of both benign and malignant tumors.
The findings challenge " Peto 's paradox," a longstanding idea based on observations from 1977 that suggested there was no link between an animal's size and its cancer risk.
Elephants, giraffes, pythons and other large species have higher cancer rates than smaller ones like mice, bats, and frogs.
Species which evolved to be larger more rapidly developed better natural defences against cancer.
