Namaste, I am studying in Thailand. I am in Grade 10. I love Biology. That’s why I want to share some fun facts relating to Biology. I hope the readers will like it. Thank you very much!

Today’s some fun facts I am talking about is related to the longest living animal in this world. Its name is Jellyfish.

Turritopsis nutricula is a jellyfish that has a very strange life cycle. It will grow regressive back to childhood again. After being a child, it will grow up again and become a child again. It goes on and on. It means that its life span is… almost immortal, breaking the record for the longest living animal in the world.

The Turritopsis dohrnii species is also an expert survivalist, hitching rides on the bottom of cargo ships.
