Maximum longevity: 25 years (captivity)
Observations: One wild born animal was still alive after 22.8 years in captivity, making it as old as 25 (Richard Weigl 2005). It has been estimated that these animals live up to 25 years in the wild (http://www.demogr.mpg.de/longevityrecords), though this has not been confirmed.
