worlds only immortal animal

An immortal jellyfish (turritopsis Nutricula) has been discovered. It was originated in the Carribian but spread throughout the world. Its immortality is thanks to something called transdifferation, or the ability to completely transform from an adult to a polyp and back again. Scientist believe that it can do this to no extent, making it, literaly, immortal.
