Observations: Very little is known about these critically endangered animals, which have not been sighted in decades and might even be extinct. One specimen lived 14.8 years in captivity (Brouwer et al. 2000). Anecdotal reports of animals living over 20 years in captivity might be true but are impossible to verify.
