Maximum longevity: 32.8 years (captivity)
Observations: Though age at sexual maturity is unknown, these animals probably do not reproduce before being 7 years old (Ronald Nowak 1999). In the wild, it is estimated that they live up to 35 years (Bernhard Grzimek 1990), but their record longevity in captivity is 32.8 years (Richard Weigl 2005).
