Maximum longevity: 17.8 years (captivity) Observations: Males normally do not reproduce until they are about 2 years old (http://www.zoo.org/). It has been reported that these animals may live up to 21 years in captivity (Ronald Nowak 1999), which is plausible but has not been confirmed. One 17.8 year old specimen was still alive in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005).
