Lifespan, longevity, and ageing

provided by AnAge articles
Observations: Little is known about the longevity of these animals as few have been kept in captivity. One specimen has been reported to live 7.8 years in captivity (Ronald Nowak 1999), which probably refers to one specimen captured in the wild that lived 6.8 years in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005). Without more detailed studies, maximum longevity must be classified as unknown.
