Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- 17.2 years (captivity)
- Source
- ref. 671
- Sample size
- Medium
- Data quality
- Acceptable
- Observations
One captive specimen was still living at 17.2 years of age [0671]. Similar species live over 20 years, so it is possible that maximum longevity is slightly underestimated in these animals.
