The Immortal Jellyfish is a group of jellyfish, with two being of interest. Turritopsis nutricula, and Turritopsis dohrnii. The first is native to the Atlantic Ocean, whereas the latter is found in Japan. These jellies have earned their immortal title through their odd and fascinating life cycle. As a human, you started as a baby, and then progressed into a child, a teen and finally an adult. What if you could transform right back into an infant? Turritopsis can do just that! They curl up into a ball and transform back into their larval polyp stage. From there, they can stay as polyps or transform back into a new jellyfish.
