Maximum longevity: 20.6 years (captivity)
Observations: Young females have an over 90% survival in the wild, though an increased mortality with age has been reported for both males and females after about 8 years of age (Loison et al. 1999). It has been reported that these animals live up to 24 years in captivity (David Macdonald 1985), which could be overestimated. Record longevity in captivity is 20.6 years (Richard Weigl 2005).
