Turritopsis dohrnii is the only organism on our planet that is immortal. It is a species of small, biologically immortal jellyfish found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the waters of Japan. It is one of the few known cases of animals capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary individual.
Second Prize!
Didn't expect it to win second prize lol! Thanks!
Weird. The ocean is a scary place, with lots of oddities in it. Thanks for sharing!
Great, just what we need, immortal jellyfish to sting people for all eternity... Still, very neat fact and one I certainly had never heard before. Thanks for sharing!
