Lobster

A large marine crustacean with prominent claws that lives mainly on cold sea floors and grows by repeatedly molting its shell.
Lobsters produce telomerase, preventing their telomeres from shortening—so they theoretically never age. They grow stronger over time, but their shells become so hard to molt that they eventually die from exhaustion during molting or from predators.
