😲Immortal jellyfish 🧬
Of course, you can kill a jellyfish. And it’s easy to do this without even noticing it. Physical immortality has not yet been found in any living organism on our planet. Most of all jellyfish species live from a few hours to many months before dying, and Turritopsis dohrnii is capable of reverting to a polyp state - the very first stage of the cnidarian life cycle.
Experiments in the laboratory have shown that a jellyfish can begin to “develop” in the opposite direction at any stage of life. Her dome and tentacles stop growing, then various processes and shoots appear on her body, which are overgrown with feeding polyps. As a result, the jellyfish returns to the hydroid stage.

Whales and dolphins (cetaceans) live in close-knit social groups, have complex relationships, talk to each other, and even have regional dialects—much like in human society.

🤔Spotted garden eels - Why is it called so strangely?
Well, first of all, it is clear that “spotted” describes the pattern on the fish’s body.
Secondly, it is called garden because it forms flocks of several hundred individuals. The fish buries itself deep into the sand, leaving only its head on the surface. Thousands of eels peeking out of their holes create the feeling that you are in a real garden, where instead of trees, eels' heads sway in the wind.
