" What leads people to believe this is the fact that lobsters show no signs of getting old. As they age, lobsters don’t stop growing or reproducing. They can grow back limbs. There’s no limit to how big a lobster can get. They don’t slow down until the day they’re cooked and eaten. Lobsters grow by molting. They shed their old shell to reveal a new, soft shell that will eventually grow and harden around them. By the time they’re done, there’s no sign of the lobster they were. It’s an exhausting, dangerous process. "
