provided by AnAge articles
Observations: Not much is known about the longevity of these animals. There have been, so far unverified, claims of animals living up to 7 years (Ronald Nowak and John Paradiso 1983). One captive specimen was estimated to be 5.2 years old when it died (Richard Weigl 2005).
