What is the animal that never dies?

Question

There are many kind of turtles, crocodiles, lobsters and alligators that live longer because of their ability to tackle senescence.
But what animal can live forever? I am in search of a really immortal creature on earth. Yes there are many arguments there on web. But I need an exact, proven answer.

Comments

Unfortunately, no animal on Earth is truly immortal. All living organisms will eventually die, even if they don't age or succumb to disease or injury.

Greenland shark: Greenland sharks are known for their exceptional longevity. Some individuals have been estimated to live for over 400 years, although their exact lifespan is difficult to determine accurately.

Answer 1

The one and only biologically immortal species on earth is a kind of jellyfish known as immortal jellyfish. The scientific name of this jellyfish species is Turritopsis Dohrnni. These type of jellyfishes are found in Mediterranean sea.

What this jellyfish actually doing is they prevent ageing by reverse cycling their growth from adult to infant. Thus they stays immortal through this technique by tricking even the death. Turritopsis Dohrnni's back ageing has been proved in lab observations.
There is another species that seen on Carribean Islands and North America called as Turritopsis Nutricula which is often mistaken as Immortal jellyfish by several medias and websites. And the picture shown in these websites and medias are Turritopsis Rubra which is seen on New Zealand islands. Both these species Nutricula and Rubra has not been observed to find the life cycle reversal like Dohrnii does.
So the title for creature which never dies belongs to the Turritopsis Dohrnii ( the actual immortal jellyfish ).

Answer 6

The law of nature subjects every living thing to transformation including death. So I don't believe there is any animal that does not die, some animals may not die but can change from one form to another example is the caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly. 

Comments

I can say that this changing for, is the stages of growth hence changes but its a natural occurrence. It was made to pass these stages just like humans.

Yeah that is what the immortal jellyfish does. It keeps changing from one form to another in its lifecycle thereby cheating death.

That is true, and similar to the immortal jellyfish, if it suffers damage it shrinks on itself, reabsorbing its tentacles and losing its ability to swim. It then settles on the seafloor as a blob-like cyst, transforming just like the caterpillar to a butterfly.

Answer 10

People claim that some jelly fish are immortal.To me this is a hoax because every creature tha reproduces also dies.Think about it,if they never died then the ocean would be full.

Comments

Just hear what you are saying. I am sure they are prey to some animals. Thus their population is constantly reduced. The term 'biologically immortal' is for natural death not for any kind of death.

---

Technically speaking, 'Biological Immortality' is the immortality of a species. If one Immortal Jellyfish was to die that wouldn't impact the immortality. Immortal Jellyfish also can't die, they can turn back time, reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle, if they were to 'die' they would be able to turn back time to bfore they died.
