Scientists have discovered a new species of marine invertebrate that breaks the traditional cycle of birth, ageing, and death.
They are also known as ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, can defy age and revert to younger versions of themselves.
The adult comb jelly can regress and reach a larval stage if they are subjected to extreme stress.
Comb jellies could also be one of the first animals to have existed as their origin can be traced back to an estimated 700 million years ago.
