A relationship is applied to the distribution of life spans of animals, which originally had been found when studying a different problem. The new formula is far simpler and its derivation is more evident than the formulas earlier proposed by Gompertz, Makeham or Perks. Idoreover all statistical data taken from literature fit the new equation better than any other one. Using the new relationship it is possible to characterize the survival curves of normally aging biological collections as well as those of collections, the individuals of which are treated with gamma radiation on drugs, by one single constant similar to the rate constant in the case of chemical reactions.
