Biologists have identified various species with very limited evidence of aging, like some rockfish, lobsters, etc; which feature they might refer to as "limited senescense." There does exist the suggestion that despite the absence of other limiting factors, size itself may impose a limit on the organism's functionality, at some point they will grow too large and be unable to support their own bulk. Anecdotal evidence exists for a dead crab's shell recovered which was several feet across estimated to have lived for hundreds of years.

In many living organisms including humans, a mechanism exists when cells undergo division, wherein the replicated DNA in the nucleus has a specific amount trimmed off the end (telomere), somewhat like the aglet on the end of a shoelace. After a certain number of replications when the maximum amount has been trimmed off the DNA "unravels" and the cell goes into senescence, or the cell self-destructs (apoptosis).
