10 Animals That Refuse To Die Like Normal Creatures (5 of 6)

8. Salamander

Salamanders are basically the X-Men of the animal kingdom. Lose a leg? Regrow it. Part of your liver is not doing so well after years of drinking alcohol? Boom, here’s a new one. They’re packed with regenerative immune cells that build new body parts like it’s arts and crafts. They can even fix internal organs. Human doctors are currently studying them to explore the possibility of replicating their healing abilities. Mother Nature will not readily reveal her greatest secrets.

9. Hydra

Hydras are tiny aquatic creatures that may be the real-life version of immortality. They don’t age. At all. Ever. What’s their secret? FoxO genes enable their cells to regenerate indefinitely. Unless they’re eaten and digested, a hydra might just vibe forever in a pond somewhere.
