Immortality, shmortality

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.
