Can you imagine that there is a living being with us live on this earth, He came to the point that evolution does not reach the stage of aging and therefore can not die (naturally)?!!

The idea may seem suitable for a legendary science fiction movies, but we are talking about a real object, scientists discovered that it does not die, and his name Turritopsis nutricula

That's very interesting, Henry.

I googled Turritopsis nutricula and was surprised to see the number of articles about it, yet I had never heard of this creature.

 

Thanks for posting.
