Immortal Animal?
    #386766 - 03/19/10 11:25 AM (14 years, 13 days ago)

The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth.

Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).

The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders, which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.

Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They're now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters.  "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.

I wonder if they're edible. That would put a quick end to that overpopulation thing. Nothing is better at killing and destroying than humans

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

Since I was twelve I've loved two animals most, jellyfish and seaturtles, this is exactly why I'm getting a jellyfish tattoo'd on my leg.

Thats funny...because IIRC, sea turtles are one of the only animals that regularly eats those man-o-war jellyfish that everyone hates. :lol:
