Lifespan, longevity, and ageing

provided by AnAge articles
Observations: One captive specimen lived for 16.1 years (Richard Weigl 2005). Maximum longevity is likely underestimated, though. Probably these animals can live for more than 20 years as it happens in the better studied bush pig (*Potamochoerus porcus*).
