Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits
- Maximum longevity
- 17 years (captivity)
- Source
- ref. 671
- Sample size
- Large
- Data quality
- High
- Observations
One 17 year old specimen was still alive in captivity [0671].
These animals can retain the function of mild depolarization in their mitochondria, which allows for the production of large amounts of ATP without the production of ROS [1341].
