WHY THIS CREATURE CAN BE IMMORTAL?
 TRANSDIFFERENTIATION

that is the process of renewing old cells back into the

young cells. So, when the Immortal Jellyfish reaches the
old stage, it can become young again. This process start
from the destruction of tentacles and old cells on the
surface of the skin. The damaged cell will be regenerate
again in a very fast time.
 CONCLUSION

Immortal Jellyfish is the only creature that has the

ability to become immortal. But, Immortal Jellyfish just can
not die because of age, not rise from the dead. Immortal
Jellyfish is prone to illness and has many predators. So this
ability does not really make it immortal.
And the las I can say is, “nothing is perfect in this world.”
