Script Vidéo

Imagine being born and never really having to worry about aging. That sounds impossible. But lobsters get surprisingly close. Most animals slowly break down as they get older. Lobsters do something weird. They keep producing an enzyme that helps their cells stay healthy throughout their lives. Which means they do not seem to age the way humans do. In theory, a lobster could keep growing larger and larger for decades. So why are there not car sized lobsters roaming the ocean? Because eventually molting becomes too dangerous. Predators. Disease. Injuries. Something usually gets them first. Which means the ocean is full of animals that do not really die from old age. And honestly that feels like something nature should have kept to itself.
