Did you know that there is a species of jellyfish that is immortal?

The Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the "immortal jellyfish," is a type of jellyfish that can transform its body into a younger state through a process called transdifferentiation. This means that it can essentially revert back to its polyp stage, which is the juvenile form of a jellyfish, and then grow back into an adult again.

This process allows the jellyfish to bypass the normal process of aging and death, making it theoretically "immortal." This process is still not fully understood and is currently being studied by scientists, but it has potential applications in the field of regenerative medicine and could possibly lead to new ways of understanding and treating diseases.
