You’ll often hear it claimed that lobsters are biologically immortal. So is it true? Not really, though this is partially an argument in semantics as you’ll soon see. (And while we’re on the topic of lobster myths, no: Lobsters do not mate for life. In fact, the male lobster pretty much gets it on with every female lobster that comes a knockin’. And they do almost literally line up and knock on the male’s door.)

simon, i watched a video of a 150 year old lobster in a maine {united states} resturant that was released into wild. it wasnt the only over 100 year lobster they released. apparently they made an event of releasing these lobsters
Can Lobsters Really Not Die of Old Age? Not if we eat hem first.
What about jellyfish? ... I heard they are very long living...
I think it's the constant sex they have that keeps them alive LOL
Funny, I watched an upload called "Why the Greeks couldn't see Blue" just before this..
Lobsters are mermaids to scorpions
@Nostalgia For Infinity no it didn't

@@muath1401 evolution is a fact.
@@muath1401 that is some impressive ignorance, any adaption is the definition of evolution. You are objectively wrong. Do you even know the basic definition of biological evolution?
@@muath1401 all dogs can interbreed with wolves. A girl I know adopted a wolf-dog hybrid (they are really weird and big). dogs and wolves are still basically the same animal.
And also just looking at modern birds like the emu and cassowary makes it pretty obvious that raptors did not go extinct. there are genes in normal chickens(as well as all other birds) that go unused for developing teeth. There are even fossils of a raptor called Archaeopteryx that had a raptor head with teeth, no beak, yet had feathers and could fly using its wings it also had a uniquely bird like ankle structure. And there are no known bird fossils that are older than when archaeopteryx lived. Yet there are many more bird like fossils dated after that point.
The people who study this stuff don't debat it.

Thank you, Simon. I keep a 1.5lb male American Maine Lobster, and he is amazing. His alertness, awareness and manipulation of his environment, and use of tools - including me - is astounding. We have many jaw-dropping interactions.

@@christinathomas4350😂 I was just thinking that!
My old skipper always threw the huge lobsters & crabs back, it was a superstitious thing, and he always had this mantra he would pronounce over them as he put them back. Never ever found out what he was muttering. On another note, he never came home empty like other boats occasionally did, never had any accidents either. It was a lucky boat, and he was a good man. I miss those simpler times.
I think it’s because bigger lobsters don’t taste very good according to some people
He was favoured by the lobster gods.
@@giftofthewild6665 😅
Yea, because it's required by law in most states. There IS a maximum size limit as well as a minimum.

Entire video summarized:
Lobsters can replicate their cells indefinitely, however the strain and energy of creating new shells each molt will eventually be too much and they'll die. Males usually live to about 30 years, 60 for females (no explanation given).
thx, i dont want to watch an 8 mn video on something that is basicly an yes or no question
Alpha1 Games
And of course, the answer wasn't given until near the end.
the reason why females live longer is because they dont get as big and so creating a new shell ist so hard on then...plus males fight there whole life and are slower due to there size and gets eaten
Basically, they are immortal. But nature still finds a way to kill them.
Despite this being in the top comments I don't think it's a very accurate summary.
"At a certain point humans stop growing, at least vertically" ooofff I felt that one
I cannot control the speed at which lobsters die.
Yes you can. You just need a knife, some boiling water, and garlic butter.
Have you even tried?!
i dont understand
I can.
Hahahaha josh nickels
Fun lobster fact! In the past, lobsters were considered disgusting and fed to the poor and dogs. So when the American Revolution came around, the American revolutionists were insulting the British Redcoats by calling them lobsterbacks, which would have been a fairly derogatory name due to the common idea of lobster at the time.
The Asian Eskimo
And now a steamed lobster at your local seafood restaurant will set you back $60 for the smallest one they could fish out.
+Kadomex That's mostly all marketing, but also some costs of shipping them live if you live far from the Northeast. You can still buy super fresh lobster for under $6 per pound in New England grocery stores. It was down to $3 per pound two summers ago due to high supply and soft demand. Even cheaper right off the boat. Yet tourists still come up here and overpay 5X for the pleasure of letting someone else toss it into boiling water for them.
The Asian Eskimo lobster is an abomination & sin. It is against the law in the Bible. That's why.
Aztec MC No it's not? Take your lies elsewhere.
In the Museum of Science in Boston, they have on exhibit a giant lobster. I think it's over three feet. I remember seeing it as a kid. My mom wanted to eat it. It was estimated at over a 100 years old. It is estimated that some whales can live as much as two hundred years and that there are whales swimming the oceans today that remember their friends and family members being hunted by New Bedford whalers. It may even be possible that whales that Herman Melville wrote about are still alive. One whale was recently found with a harpoon in it that was manufactured over two hundred years ago that nobody has used for over 150 years
nunya biznez "my mom wanted to eat it" that honestly made me lmao. Who wouldn't think the same? unless u are vegan.
nunya biznez well if nobody has used the harpoon for 150 yrs, what was the whale doing with it? I think we should have a video on this. Thumbs up in agreement.

Did you know that Derrick Beltran is actually a false flag agent planted by the reptilians to redirect attention from their plans to human groups because it's easier to believe in an evil human force than a ruthless alien invader?
I was night diving once and came across a lobster that was about 3 feet long (tail to claws). The dive master said it was probably 75 years old (and not good to eat).
Why aren't they edible at that age?
@cryptidofthemarshes1680 the muscles get too old and sinewy, kinda like a old cranky dude that was left out in the sun too long! Just like lambs, calves and other animals, younger lobsters have more delectable, supple meat.
@@panicmosem5969oh I always assumed a huge lobster would be more delicious and have way more meat
So... Lobsters are perfect lifeforms?
They're immortal, taste great and are psychic....
Water/Psychic if we're nitpicking. Better watch out for the odd dark-type attack.
😂😂😂
Which lobster pokemon is psychic type? I dunt remember lol
@@lolmonkyboi I don't believe any lobster is. Unless ducks are lobsters.
Which is possible. You can never be sure with lobsters
Humans are psychic too. We will die, we will owe taxes, we will lead stressful lives. Humans can predict alot of things
why doesn't someone just ask the lobsters how old they are?
Alice Geus exactly like sometimes people are so stupid like duh the answer is so obvious
Alice Geus like women, it's rude to ask a lobster its age
audstire you're*
audstire dumb shit
Alice Geus seems reasonable, But nobody will ever do it because if the lobster answered you'd never want to eat them.
How about the immortal jellyfish? I heard that there is a certain species of jellyfish that can turn back into their polyp form (and "erase" their disease and physical injuries), rendering them biologically immortal...
I was going to make a similar comment.
doesnt count since it just reverts itself instead of actually living onwards forever and ever
Veronika Mars
I really don't get your logic...
+Veronika Mars that doesn't make sense. It lives onwards but just keeps keeps changing its age. Its like Benjamin button no dying of young age but constantly changing from old man to infant repeatedly
try to imagen an phenix they get reborn from there corpse. They still die but clone themself afterwards
Me scrolling through RUclips video news feed.
This guy: You've probably often heard lobsters are biological immoral.
Me: no I definitely haven't but do tell me more, lol.
Lol !!! Hey, I don't know about the lobster but, I think YOU may be psychic. Not sure about lobsters being "immoral" though.
I was at an aquarium recently, and my mother said that there was a massive lobster with a crusher claw a foot wide (which was an exaggeration, but only a few inches off) the last time she had been there was about 30 years ago.
Same here!!! 🤣🦞👨🏽🏫

Very well done! As a geneticist, I agree with you -- you can't blame telomeres for everything when it comes to aging. I'd love to go into details, but yes, there are so many other factors involved.
Lobsters don't live forever? Try telling that to their kids who never seem to inherit the estate.

44lb lobster would take a lot of garlic butter
Hell yea!
After 2 lbs lobsters stop being edible. At least in a way that would be enjoyable.
Meat gets tough, stringy and slightly bitter the older a lobster gets. The smaller/younger a lobster, the better it tastes and after 2 lbs it stops being enjoyable. This is why most whole lobsters you get at a restaurant are on the small, 1 person can it it side.
Na, I like not starving and enjoying my food.
Because I'm human! We're not top dog becuase were the biggest and meanest, we're top dog becuase we ate our predators. I'm no cow, those are for eating, not emulating.
Simon- you are the OG of RUclips educational video presenters. I appreciate you- across all topics. If you remember even 1/100th of what you explain to us you would be the most interesting person I ever sat next to on a plane. I bet you could make a description of how paint drys fascinating. Keep up the good work of satisfying our insatiable curiosity my good man!!
That was one of the best 'Today found out' videos I've seen so far. Thans very much guys!!
Ok, so we need an Aquarium to get a lobster and let it live in the best conditions possible so we can see how old it can live. Maybe it will outlive everyone and we'll have to pass the duty to our descendents. but, some humans may know some day!
SonoftheWay35 and then our children can use that one "immortal" to genetically alter humans to live forever!
+Gurtington
If only it was that simple...
Also, bit of an ethical minefield.
jaisheelal400 - ROBLOX fuck ethics 😤
Eventually the lobster would get so big that gravity and the physical limitations of its own chemistry would prevent it from moving and it would die. It's limbs would be too heavy to move. The material of its body would not be sturdy enough to sustain itself. It's limbs would twist and bend under its own weight, then eventually break. From there it would be too heavy and cumbersome to move itself. It'd be a lump of tissue and nerves. You could hardly call it a lobster anymore.
VejyMonsta welllll...we have to see how long that takes!
Do a video on the Immortal Jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii).
It's so weird seeing him from 5 years ago. He looks so different than the recent videos.
Back then he accepted his place as a nerd. Now he tried to be sexy like a Bond villain haha
Jellyfish are biologically immortal.
They summoned Shenron and he made it happen.
Silly boy. Of course they can't die of old age. We eat them first.

@All Living Things Feel Best Outdoors not lobsters, they have the same nervous system as a fucking ant, and ants cant feel pain because of how small and primitive their nervous system is, both insects and lobsters have the world's worst and oldest nervous system, and this makes sense since lobsters are crustaceans, and everyone with a working, functioning nervous system and brain, inlike lobsters, know crustaceans are related to insects, so no, lobsters can't feel pain, and studies have proven they can't feel pain or are even sentient due to how old, ancient, and non functional their nervous systems are, dont go preaching all animals can feel pain, that simply isnt true, do plants feel pain? No, just because it's living doesnt mean it can feel pain, do jellyfish and bacteria feel pain? No, just because they are animals doesn't mean they can feel pain, the jelly fish is literally a brainless, organless blob floating in the water, and bacteria are literally one of the first organisms to ever exist.
I think you ment a "boat load"
What if a person, like at an aquarium, were to assist with molting? I wonder how big they'd actually get if they were able to.

Well, if you are looking for examples of long lived animals: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-living_organisms
P.s. - 200 years is low-balling it for extreme mollusk longevity: try 507 years.
Lobsters cannot die of old age, because they are too delicious for that.
😂
They just taste like big shrimp
Apollo The Impaler shrimp are delicious
Agreed. sea food in general.
This has given me claws for thought
I have never seen such a sympathic guy. Keep up the good work.
I would assume that the bigger and older they get, the easier it would be for predators to capture them as well, thus making their immortality less likely.

G'day,
When I was 3 (1964) my uncle was the first person to Spearfish on South Solitary Island, and I've posted Video of the Photos of the Lobster he brought back, on WOAL...; and I recall seeing it being photographed.
One picture shows a 1-Ft long Blackfish, against a Retractable Ruler, the other shows the same Blackfish & the Ruler, *NOSE-TO-TAIL* laid perpendicular between the Lobster's Eye-Stalks..; so it was a Foot accross the Eyeballs.
And I still have the original Photographs.
While it's Tail was hanging over the bottom of a 7 Foot-Long Door, 2/3 of it's Feelers were overhanging the other end...(!).
I make it as being 5 ft from Eyes to Tailfans' Edge.., and I've always thought it must've been 100 years old when Uncle Spencer brought it home for us to eat...
There ye go, 'nd now ye know !

Actually, telomerase exists in adult human beings too, particularly in certain forms of stem cells as well as in tissues that are regularly regenerated, for instance in epiderms (such as skin and mucous membranes) as well as in the case of various blood cells that need to be generated continuously.
Cool thank u for the info
Watching in 2020: "Holy shit, Simon shaved his beard! Wait a minute..." RUclips games me again.
Well there is the so called immortal jellyfish that is considered potentially biologically immortal because when they grow old or sick they revert to a younger stage of life and become polyps again.

wow
@Sagrotan tf a jellyfish isn't an insect
Wonder if that (estimated) 10000 year old pine is theoretically immortal then.
@@Cream12345Ice they said *like* many insects do, not that they are insects. I could say some insects can fly like birds do but that still doesn't mean I am saying insects are birds.
Well, if they make a way for genetic repair medicine then it would be a first step to living longer for the rich people.
Catfoodbob, we need to get Donald Trump to fund some of the medical research in this field
Catfoodbob well there is human cloning but That leaves the person mentally stupid
no, it doesn't, but it is also illegal.
(U.S.)
We already have genetic repair machinery. Every single day every cell in your body (about 7 trillion of them) undergoes about 60,000 DNA damage events. That adds up to about 4.2 quintillion DNA damage events. Your cells have specialised enzymes in at least 10 different pathways that fix >99.99999% this damage. We already have telomerase in our cells too, well, specifically in our stem cells and in telomerase-positive cancers (about 85% of all cancers).
I enjoy these know-it-all British guy channels that teach me stuff.

Not to mention that cancer cells tend to produce telomerase... with some cancer treatments seeking to stop telomerase's ability to lengthen the telomeres so that the quickly dividing cancer cells might die faster.

Tardigrades are probably the closest thing we know of being "immortal"
They're immortal to near every form of harsh punishment except physical trauma like being squished.
@@jakeglumm8225 they're immortal to everything except what they run into on a daily basis. They can survive gamma ray bursts but snails gobble them up like it's no big deal its the dumbest ability of any animal i know of
Nope, it's jellyfish. When they get sick or too old, they revert to an earlier stage of life.
Not at all. They're just resilient.
Ha. They cleverly developed telomere repairing mechanism, but stupid enough to make their flesh tasty. If their flesh tasted like broccoli, their average life span would have been much longer.
Jeong-hun Sin Stand in front of a lion and see how smart you become. :p

"stupid enough to MAKE their flesh tasty"?
I hope thats a joke... Or you should probably look into Evolution a bit more bud.

"The largest lobster ever caught weighed 44 lb." Documents from colonial America record six foot lobsters regularly caught. Lobster was unpopular, and was fed to imprisoned convicts.
+connor AC , you're not very smart are you? There is photo evidence, material evidence, AND written evidence of the Civil War. There is ONLY written evidence that there were 6ft Lobsters regularly caught. That is the difference.

"At least not vertically"...
I see what you did there.
I learned about telomerase from Alex Jones. Been lengthening my telomerase since 2017. Lmao
Bret Weinstein (I think) discovered that lab mice have abnormally long telomeres. This explains why all the medicine they test on mice doesn't kill them but does kill us. Science is to proud to admit that big of a blunder tho so I doubt it will change.
Telomers. Also science isn't some single person in a room who outsmarts you out of spite. It's a word to describe a body of knowledge gained via the scientific method.
Must've been a funny man or woman who made you bitter about smart people.
OMG you look so young here! I'm slowly working my way through all your videos 😂
am I the only one who thinks that 30-60 years is still a long time for a lobster to live?

I still think they're immortal. I believe one day we'll find huge colonies of massive ancient lobsters living somewhere at the bottom of the ocean.
Speaking of long lived sea creatures. You should do an episode on orange roughy.
gutspraygore no duh, who do you think runs Atlantis
They actually acquired interstelkar travel capabilty before the extintion of dinosaurs and later came back to earth as ancient alien. They easily built the piramids and Stonehenge with their incredible size.
One remains on our planet to this day and took the name lochness, or nessie if you will.
All hail to our lobster gods
Short Answer: No
Long answer- much more interesting and educational. ;-)

This dude’s presentation has gotten so much better over the past few years on Biographics. It’s not bad here, but his pacing and production values have just gotten better and make it feel so much more natural.
scientists are actively researching ways to extend the length of or even prevent the shortening of the dna strands and have succeeded in extending the lives of lab mice...eventual medical immortality for the super rich...
Well as the process gets more effective and in turn cheaper, it will most likely eventually be available to the lesser rich as is typically the case with these things.
Not having telomerase in adulthood makes it harder for cancer cells to develop since they will die after a few replications. so it is a pretty good thing that we can't lengthen our telomeres.
As long as we don't find a cure for cancer that is.
yenthel3 Indeed, in fact many cancers are telomerase positive (about 85%) and use that to evade cell death.
Such is the way unfortunately, any new procedure starts expensive and lowers in price as it's refined and easier methods of replication are created.
Reincarnate as a male lobster please...
no, cuz u would want to eat me

So then you can fuck a bunch of other lobsters? The fucks wrong with you? I can't think of something less fuckable. Maybe a cactus?
Yakui did someone have a bad day? if I were a lobster I'm sure I'd find them attractive. kinda how humans find humans attractive. pull the stick out
Nico Andujar actually mammals are only species that has unusual mating organs beacuse every other creature has cloaca only and that is a hole where everything is being dumped out like urine and feces or even sperm and I'm not sure how they mate but it's probably by pressing onto two cloacas or by pouring sperm onto the egg like things (forgot how it is called) and there you have it!
Nico Andujar oh and reincarnation is not possible
fantastic video
this guy enunciates his words clearer than any other
Hopefully Leon will be around for a while
