Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits | |
| Maximum longevity | Not yet established |
| Observations | One captive specimen lived for 16.1 years [0671]. Maximum longevity is likely underestimated, though. Probably these animals can live for more than 20 years as it happens in the better studied bush pig (Potamochoerus porcus). |
