For decades biologists have been puzzled by the apparent low cancer rates of elephants and other large vertebrates. After all, their size means they have more cells and therefore one would assume a higher risk of cancer. However, not only do many animals large and small get cancer significantly less than initially thought, their mechanisms to prevent the disease could benefit humans as well.
