Maximum longevity: 17.3 years (captivity) Observations: These endangered animals probably live around 4-5 years in the wild, though some may live up to 9 years (Bernhard Grzimek 1990). One captive specimen lived 17.3 years (Richard Weigl 2005). Maximum longevity could be slightly underestimated because the better studied Himalayan tahr (*Hemitragus jemlahicus*) can live for more than 20 years.
