Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
provided by AnAge articles
Observations: The total gestation time probably includes a period of delayed implantation (Ronald Nowak 2003). In the wild, these animals have been estimated to live up to 23 years (David Macdonald 1985). Their longevity in captivity has not been studied in detail and hence their maximum longevity must be classified as unknown.
