Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits

Maximum longevity
Not yet established
Observations

These animals have been recorded to live up to 7.6 years in captivity [0451]. Most likely, however, their maximum lifespan is considerably greater. Anecdotal claims of animals living 12-15 years in captivity are plausible. Further studies are needed.
