Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- 12 years (captivity)
- Source
- ref. 671
- Sample size
- Small
- Data quality
- Acceptable
- Observations
One specimen was still alive after 12 years in captivity [0671]. Nonetheless, maximum longevity might be underestimated and further studies are necessary.
