Lifespan
Their maturity is normally reached once they turn 12 years of age. Their actual life span in the wild is really unknown. But in popular belief they can live up to 200 years! Although 80 to 120 years is more likely, but you never know it could be way higher and they could live to those full 200 years. Now in captivity the numbers are a little lower then their wild lives. Their lifespan in captivity is anywhere from 20 to 70 years old.
