The hydra. There's a species of worm (pretty sure it's a flatworm, could be a round one though). Technically, lobsters are too. They also aren't cos growing their news shells is incredibly taxing and that's how the old ones usually succumb, but yeah, genetically, they do the whole telomere regeneration shit. Their DNA is like 17yo when they die at age 130. So, yeah.
