A scientist discovered living creature that can grow new limbs, reset the entire structure of the body, it can even create clones of themselves.
It was found by Jinru He, a graduate student who majored in marine biology at Xiamen University, China.
The discovery came from a few years ago, when he decided to take the baby moon jellyfish from the sea and raise her to adulthood.
When the animals died, Jinru put it in a new aquarium. Three months later, a polyp emerged from these species.
Indeed, most of the jellyfish started life as a polyp on the sea floor. However, the formation of polyps observed by Jinru never encountered before.

National Geographic said that what was observed by Jinru similar to a piece of butterfly wings that grow into caterpillars. It is quoted by the Daily Mail,
Polyps are then turned into medusa - phase adult jellyfish. But instead of dying, the adult jellyfish transformed into a polyp.
"This study illustrates the potential that is unprecedented on a reverse cycle jellyfish, which indicates that the phase of polyps can be achieved directly during adolescence and medusa mature sexually," she wrote in a journal.

He also realized that in some medusa, polyps grow out of their mouths. The young Polyps then grow into clones of jellyfish.
Scientists believe, to understand how the jellyfish can achieve this, the opportunity to understand how to live longer.
Last year, researchers from Caltech discovered that when the moon jellyfish began to lose their limbs, they can set the body back to remain symmetrical.
"Jellyfish move to 'paddle' arms. It is able to move water and food into his mouth," said researchers from Caltech.
"When they swim, nan viscous boundary layer between their arms create a surface that can be rowed constantly."
"You can imagine how the paddle surface can be disturbed if there is a distance between his arms," he added.
