Did you know that some animals are virtually "immortal"? Mole rats, for instance, can live up to 40 years with no noticeable decline in health or physiology. Their slow metabolisms, cell resistance to oxygen deprivation, and low body temperatures contribute to their remarkable longevity. Additionally, research suggests they're resistant to cancer due to a unique cellular mechanism. Turtles and tortoises also exhibit negligible aging when kept in captivity, while lobsters can live over 100 years without growing old. And then there are ocean quahogs, which can live more than 500 years! As researchers continue to study these remarkable animals, we may uncover the secrets to their remarkable longevity.
