Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits

Maximum longevityNot yet established
Observations

In the wild, these animals live up to 10 years [0542]. One captive specimen lived for 12.3 years [0671]. Because they do not thrive in captivity [0434], it is possible that their maximum longevity is underestimated.
