Maximum longevity: 400 years (wild) Observations: These animals show exceptional longevity and have been estimated to live up to 400 years in the wild. One study found that in animals aged 4-192 years, antioxidant enzymes declined rapidly in the first 25 years, which includes the growth and sexual maturity stages, but afterwards remained stable for over 150 years (Abele et al. 2008). Though more detailed studies are warranted, it appears this species is a case of negligible senescence.
