Did you know that there’s an immortal species of jellyfish? The species is called Turritopsis dohrnii, often referred to as the "immortal jellyfish."
This jellyfish has the remarkable ability to revert back to its juvenile polyp state after reaching adulthood, essentially allowing it to potentially live forever. This process, known as transdifferentiation, is a unique phenomenon in the animal kingdom and makes Turritopsis dohrnii one of the few known cases of "biological immortality."
