You can find them in outside water sources, like freshwater ponds. They look like a piece of string with frayed edges and are about 1/4 or 1/2 inch when fully grown. They live basically forever - except when out of water. Remember that they mate a crap-load. (Doubles itself a lot every day)
Even in they don't have a mate, they can still make baby hydras. They're like sea-sponges - they make another one of its kind by itself :D
Actually, there is at least one species of jellyfish than can, from an adult form, revert to it's infant form. It's not just asexual reproduction, the individual is actually able to become a polyp again and continue living this way forever (or until something eats it).. Though as it changes back into the infant form, it also spawns others.. and I assume each of them can spawn copies of themselves. The important thing is, no creature dies here. Nothing can stop it but a hungry fish!

you don't get what I mean. I mean age-related death. immortality as a biological term. of course no creature is really immortal.

so your telling me if i got like a nuke and launch it right next to a hydra the hydra will still be alive?
davehypercaman 2 years ago
no, but as long as a few cells survive they can regenerate the complete animal. if you cut hydra into 200 pieces you'll get 200 hydras after a while.

Is the Hydra immortal?
torpedo192 2 years ago
yes it is. ;-) a biological phenomenon
Danzilla7 2 years ago
No real research, study, or literature is written on it though.
From what I can see, it is only probable speculation.
