Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- 17.3 years (captivity)
- Source
- ref. 669
- Sample size
- Medium
- Data quality
- Questionable
- Observations
One specimen was still alive after 17.3 years in captivity [0669]. Considering the longevity of similar species, however, maximum longevity could be significantly underestimated. It has also been reported that these animals can live up to 33.6 years in captivity [0979], which is plausible but has not been verified.
