Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
provided by AnAge articles
Observations: The total gestation time of about 10 months includes a period of delayed implantation (Ronald Nowak 2003). In the wild, these animals have been estimated to live up to 39 years (Ronald Nowak 1999). Their longevity in captivity has not been studied in detail and hence their maximum longevity remains unknown.
