10 Animals That Refuse To Die Like Normal Creatures

Nature can be beautiful, majestic, and sometimes absolutely unhinged. Some animals possess survival strategies reminiscent of a horror film. From snakes that keep biting after they’ve been beheaded to jellyfish that hit life’s “reset” button like it’s no big deal, these creatures don’t know how to give up.

Here are ten wild animals that refuse to fade into obscurity.

1. Turtles

Snapping turtles can live up to 80 or even 100 years, but that’s not the best part about their body. After decapitation, their hearts can beat for hours (even days!) with no head attached. This is because their hearts have these peculiar pacemaker cells that don’t rely on brain signals. Also, they absorb oxygen through their skin. So yeah, zombie turtles are technically real, but they won’t bite.
