As far as I know, that hasn't been mentioned yet in any of the episodes (or not the ones I've seen, anyway). Have you checked the character biographies on all the Futurama fansites?

I think he is pretty old. my proof?
Bender says that Zoidberg is the professor's oldest friend at his "150"th birthday roast, meaning he is the friend he has known the longest.
Also with the ammount of larval stages he has to grow through and change that number of metamorphacies would take some time, as well as his final stage had a more human like growth period (teenage years see "A taste of freedom" ).
so he would be pretty old.
raises the question- how old is harold zoid?

Fry is older than the Professor. He's lived since the year 2000. Just because he's physically 25 (was it?) doesn't negate the fact that he has lived for over 1000 years.

Anyway I would say that dear old Zoidy is in his late middle ages, something like late 40s/early 50s.

I had a thought - and I know someone's already mentioned it in passing, but in A Fishful Of Dollars (1ACV06), he knows what anchovies smell like, so he must have had them before (when he walks in at the end "that stench, that heavenly stench..." Which puts his age at about 800 (if the anchovies were wiped out in the 2200s). I don't think that's the case though.

You must allso remember that in season 2, ep 5 his in heat. An animal is not in heat all the time like men are. On the other hand, he's not human. If i remember right, they allso only mated once in a life time, mostly because the female ate the male.. Kinda like divorce, isn't it...

Here's the missing link in your theory Pikka: the de-aging process is done in increments of their initial age (percentage in other words), not absolute numbers.
Amy is at least 5 years younger than Fry, while Hermes is probably a good 15 years older, yet they all turn into fetuses at the same time. And as mentioned Bender is only 4 years old, yet become a blueprint CD in the same timespan, so clearly their reversed aging progress at different speeds, depending on their starting age.
Ah, but what about Farnsworth, he doesn't turn into a fetus with the rest of them. He's prolonged exposure to the low-grade mud might have given him some resistance against the effects of the highly-concentrated mud the rest of them fall into. Or the layer of low-grade mud protected him against the heavy stuff.
Ofcourse it's only a theory of mine.

I think Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles makes no sense, at least the end. Before going into the pond of aging or whatever it was called, Fry, Leela, Amy, and possibly Hermes (I don't remember it that well) were all babies, and Farnsworth was about 5 or so. (he talked like a baby, but could walk well enough) That means that the younger characters un-aged between 20-30ish years, yet Farnsworth got about 155 years younger. Zoidberg could have been effected by the tar in a different way, so it isn't sure how old he is.
In A Fishful of Dollars, Zoidberg said "My people ate them all, we're sorry!", but that might mean that the race as a whole is sorry, not the current living ones. At the end, when he says "That stench, that heavenly stench!" He could have just been responding to it because he liked the smell, not that he knew what it was. For example, a child who never smelled baking cookies before would probably enjoy the smell. Since Zoidy likes fish more than most other foods (apparently, even though he'll eat pretty much anything due to his poorness), he would like the anchovy smell. There is no proof that he was alive during 2200 or whenever they went extinct.

1. Farnsie was in there longer; he would have aged more. Also, what's to say that the tar is all the same concentration? Hermes might have hit a more concentrated patch than the others and aged faster 2. I think "that stench, that heavenly stench" was a recognition thing though. If you're talking about linguistics "that" would imply that he was referring to something specific. I mean, if he didn't know what it was, wouldn't he just come in and go "that smells good" or something? Because by that point in the series, he wasn't poor yet (that's not till 2ACV07) so he wouldn't react so OTT through sheer hunger. I dunno.
