Species
EndangeredMaximum longevity: 39 years (captivity) Observations: There have been claims of animals living up to 46 years (Ronald Nowak 1999), which is not impossible but has not been verified either. In captivity, the record longevity of this species belongs to one wild born female that was about 39 years old when she died (Richard Weigl 2005).
