It had lived in a tank at Peter’s Clam Bar in New York, and now he's living free on his own.

After turning down $1000 for Louie the Lobster, a 22 pounder, to be a meal, bar owner Butch Yamali chose to give the crustacean his freedom.

At 132 years old, Louie isn't the oldest lobster on record. The record is 140 years.
