Immortality, shmortality

[ionelv]

Apparently, Turritopsis nutricula (a species of jellyfish) can go back in time through the process of transdifferentiation, thus rendering it effectively immortal, theoretically - that is unless it encounters Banner Fish, Sun Fish, Spade Fish, Loggerhead turtles, Arrow Crabs or it drifts near East Asian costal areas.

All those fish, turtles, crabs and people living near those costal areas eat jellyfish :-)
