GiaNNi`~ 46 Posted August 2, 2011 Their is a species of Jellyfish, called the turritopsis nutricula species, that has developed over time, in a way, that lets them cycle through life. These may be the only living species on earth that has no lifespan. "The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell." Once the Jellyfish gets to its elder, mature stage, they reverse their aging process and become little jellys again. Scientists are currently scrutinizing them and trying to figure out how they have obtained the 'fountain of youth'. They orginated in the Caribbean, but are now expanding.I just thought this was really cool and felt like sharing. http://green.yahoo.com/blog/guest_bloggers/26/the-world-s-only-immortal-animal.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very true, but it is still a bitch that Mother Nature decided to give one of her greatest gifts to something that doesn't even have a brain. But then again I believe this picture explains it all.
