Tardigrades - One Of The Most Fascinating Species On Earth

[DominiqueX]

Cool, but.. I hate bugs, worms and other creepy creatures like these >.>

An equally interesting animal is the "Turritopsis Dohrnii" Jellyfish. Considered to be one of the few immortal animals. They can reverse aging. So they can potentially live forever.

Yeah I knew that, one specific species of them can practically reset their bioclock. Also fascinating. Tardigrades have an ability of kickstarting their life again after they dry out, it's mentioned up there

Scientists are currently trying to find a way to "cure death" by splicing the DNA of these creatures with Humans, in order for us to reverse aging and become more durable. They say that with the right funding, they can figure it out within a decade.

Can you imagine how crazy that would be?

Maybe I should partake in that experiment. I'm 26 and look like I'm 18-19 xd
Yeah I heard of it. There's also one Croatian scientist (my country), that's working on something he calls "elixir of youth" for years.

Likewise. I wanna be one of those 100 year old people in the body of a 10 year old XD

Also it'd be cool to float in space and not die.

 

[Waindo]

They look like a fusion of both. That's why I said "or other creepy creatures like that".
Spiders, skorpions and crabs aren't bugs or worms either, but are still gross to me D:

 

[Disquiet]

This is just amazing.

[Edenia]

I have read about them, truly extraordinary creatures.

Yeah, 2 things about them that blew my mind completely are that they can survive in space and the fact that they can be practically dead for decades and "restart" when the conditions allow them. They also look freakin' awesome.

They give hope for Extraterrestrial life, if they can survive anywhere there might be other species even sentient ones which can survive even in harshest conditions, far from the goldilocks kind planets.
