That is the question I had been asking myself since a long time.And Now I finally got the answer.Researchers have recently discovered such a creature in the carribbean. The Turritopsis nutricula,more commonly called the immortal jellyfish,is a creature who can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature.In human language,This jellyfish can reverse it's aging cycle after reaching adulthood.And it can repeat this cycle an infinite number of times,bypassing death and making it biologically immortal.As of yet,it is the only proven specie in the animal kingdom capable of performing this feat.
As good as it sounds,these jellyfish are likely to suffer from disease at an early stage of their life,or being eaten by other animals in the sea.
