Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits | |
| Maximum longevity | 3.2 years (captivity) |
| Source | ref. 671 |
| Sample size | small |
| Data quality | questionable |
| Observations | Although one captive animal lived 3.2 years [0671], maximum longevity in this species is likely underestimated as even in the wild animals are expected to live over 3 years. |
