Lifespan, longevity, and ageing

"Maximum longevity: 55.4 years (captivity)
Observations: Little is known about ageing in gorillas. One wild born female was about 53.5 years when she died in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005). The record longevity, however, appears to belong to a female called "Jenny" that died at Dallas Zoo from an inoperable stomach tumour at 55.4 years of age. She showed early signs of cataracts."
