Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- 21.3 years (captivity)
- Source
- ref. 671
- Sample size
- Large
- Data quality
- Acceptable
- Observations
One captive specimen lived for 21.3 years [0671]. Although these animals have been studied in captivity and are common in zoos, considering the longevity of similar species it is possible that maximum longevity is underestimated.
