Which animal does not age?

The animal famous for not aging is the "Immortal Jellyfish" (Turritopsis dohrnii), which can reverse its life cycle from adult back to its juvenile polyp stage, effectively starting over and achieving biological immortality, though it can still die from predators or disease. Other animals like lobsters, naked mole rats, and certain turtles/tortoises also exhibit extreme longevity or signs of not aging in the typical way due to superior DNA repair, cellular maintenance, or metabolic slowdowns, but they aren't truly immortal like the jellyfish.
