This sea animal can reverse its age, can return to childhood during youth, and can become young again later

What if the body of old people starts living in reverse with time? That is, as time passes, people become younger. But this quality is also limited because after a certain time, one can become an adult again. If this seems like a fantasy to you, then it is wrong, because there is a sea creature that can do this. According to the study, this sea creature has the ability to age in reverse. This is the Atlantic Comb Jelly, which is known as the “sea nut”.

This species can reverse its age when food is scarce or it is injured. Evolving backwards, the gelatinous non-vertebrate transforms its body into its larval form, a stage in its life when it has thin long tentacles or filaments to catch food.

The adult form of the organism resembles a tiny pair of transparent lungs and does not have these filaments. A study that has not yet been peer-reviewed suggests that the sea walnut (Mnemiopsis leidyi) is only the third known animal species, and the first known comb jelly species, that can revert to an earlier stage of its life after becoming an adult.

It has become an invasive species in Europe and Asia and is now found in the Mediterranean, Baltic and North Seas as well as the Black and Caspian Seas. Notably, M. leidyi can survive in the ballast water of ships for weeks without food and experts believe this is how it managed to reach other coasts.

To understand more about this, the scientists starved one group of comb jellies and injured another by removing tissue from their lobes. They found that the sea walnuts did not die. Instead, they shriveled into tiny spots. After being fed later, 13 of the 65 comb jellies developed filaments, a sign that they had reverted to their larval stage. Eventually, the creatures reached their original size again and their lobes also grew back. They were also able to reproduce again, according to the study.
