New findings uncover the unique biology of alligators, which exhibit a rare phenomenon known as negligible senescence. These ancient reptiles defy the typical signs of aging, effectively remaining “biologically immortal” no matter how long they live. What allows alligators to stay virtually ageless, and what insights might this hold for understanding longevity?
