Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- 18.5 years (captivity)
- Source
- ref. 671
- Sample size
- Medium

- Acceptable
- Observations
One wild born specimen was about 18-19 years old when it died in captivity [0671]. Similar species live over 20 years, so it is possible that maximum longevity is slightly underestimated in these animals.
