Maximum longevity: 40 years (captivity) Observations: Despite a higher MRDT (Finch et al. 1990), rhesus macaques appear to age significantly faster than humans from a physiological perspective (Caleb Finch 1990). The females of this species reach menopause at the age of 25 years (Ronald Nowak 1999). Maximum longevity is 40 years (Bodkin et al. 2003). It is possible that one animal under caloric restriction for part of its life lived for slightly longer than 40 years but this record is unverified (George Roth, pers. comm.).
