George The Lobster - (born approximately 1869) owned briefly by the City Crab and Seafood restaurant in New York City. Captured in December 2008, he was released back into the wild in January 2009. George weighed 20 pounds (9.1 kg), and had an estimated age of 140 years.
There is no known way to exactly determine the age of a lobster since their bodies molt. The best way is to estimate age is based on the weight of the lobster. It takes approximately seven years (depending on the gender and water temperature) for a lobster to grow to legal harvesting size (1-1 1/4 lb.). After that, a lobster will grow about 1 pound for every 3 years.
The Guinness book of world records holds the oldest lobster at caught was in Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing 20.15 kilograms (44.4 lb). It's age can only be speculated.
When scientists and biologists fully understand why Lobsters do not die of old age, it may be possible to create a therapy to prevent humans from dying of old age.

In the wild, they can live much longer, if they are not eaten or otherwise harmed.

It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits.
