These animals and organisms possess remarkable adaptations that allow them to live for extraordinarily long periods, here are some things to know.
1
This small jellyfish has the unique ability to revert its cells back to an earlier stage of its life cycle, essentially starting its life over again.
2
The hydra, a small freshwater organism, does not undergo senescence.
3
These worms can regenerate any part of their body, including their head, using pluripotent stem cells.
4
Lobsters exhibit a phenomenon called negligible senescence, meaning they do not show typical signs of ageing.
5
It is Known to live well over 100 years, with some individuals surpassing 150 years.
6
Though not immortal, its extraordinarily long life hints at mechanisms that slow down ageing significantly.
7
These sharks have an incredibly slow metabolism and live in cold environments, which contributes to their longevity.
8
Sea urchins can regenerate damaged parts of their body, including spines and tube feet.
9
They are not immortal, but their ability to live for millennia indicates an extraordinary resistance to ageing and decay.
10
Naked mole rats exhibit negligible senescence, with some researchers suggesting they do not age in a conventional way.
