Imagine being a horseshoe crab, surviving three massive extinctions but some evolved monkeys hunts you for your blood

“What’s the most indestructible animal” is like asking “what occupation has the best skills” because just like how cooking skills can’t be compared to space travel the immortality of a jellyfish can’t be compared to the longevity of the whole alligator species or the indestructibility of a tardigrade.
Tbh I thought I was the only thinking about the jellyfish, isn’t there one that actually restarts its entire aging process once it’s close to death? I believe it’s called the mendusa jellyfish and it repurposes it’s cells through trans differentiation (I believe I may be wrong)
But they can still die by predator and other things
@@titanwolfwhatif2937 yeah in that way the ankylosaurus and large whales are winners
K U it’s called the immortal jellyfish, mendusa is its genus. And yes, it can reverse its life cycle and live for an infinite amount of time as long as it isn’t killed
you do realize that tardigrades are resistant to literally everything except the things that can kill them. they kill each other, and get killed by the millions by snails.
That means Peter Griffin isn't unrealistic, he just never told us of his grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-uncle Peter Flatworm. Yet.
I am also a fan of Peter Griffin
🅱eter
@TheWackyWolf yes a double negative used in the correct way whats your point?
@@nullo6306 Maybe he doesn't know that Peter Griffin can regenerate completely from a single hand. Okay technically that one became Retep. But i guess that still counts. As he clearly spoke english which indicates that he retained at least some memories.
Video is about indestructible not Regenitive abilities
Answer: Queen Elizabeth
Yeah...about that...
With coming up with alien species, I think of how their environment would affect them. Here’s four sapient, humanoid species I’ve come up with:
-Bunzurilian: Long-lived, with sturdy bodies to compensate for slower reproduction rates. Lifespans are to conserve resources in a desert environment by slowing population growth rate, and iron reinforces skeleton. Carbon dioxide pockets in skin reduce thermal conductivity, allowing for better survival through scorching days and freezing nights.
-Thutovi: Greater-than-human strength and durability to effectively combat predators and gather resources. Rough skin on palms and soles boosts friction, allowing for better climbing and faster running, with ATP being able to be converted to either ADP or AMP for more energy.
-Sorthite: Extremely strong tissue resists mechanical stresses, with nails hard and sharp enough to dig into solid rock, and climb. Biochemistry adapted to work for long periods of time, even in subzero conditions, able to survive even at an internal temperature of -20 Celsius.
-Xotrili: Bodies built to withstand rapid and large changes in ambient pressure. Skin is smooth to facilitate swimming, with ears designed to hear as well in water as they do in air. Can store large amounts of gas in the lungs, and release that air via vents connected to the bloodstream, to counteract the bends.
Dude it’s so weird meteorites always land in craters like what the hell 3:02

Technically, the flatworm can breed with itself, it can also become partly its own grandparent. Also, if they were scaled up to the size of humans, imagine the complexity of the family tree!
How to get unlimited food in space and on Mars: bring shet load of flat worms. 1 become 279, 279 become 77841, 77841 become 6059221281, then 3.671416253212328e+19, then the whole Mars will be covered with flat worms.
They need stuff to feed on in order to grow

Eewwwwwwwwwwwwww
@@DestinyHunter-xv9rd if you eat one to make one it will leave the same amount

Djuncle yeah, It sounds cool until you realize that all of it’s abilities protect it from the things that won’t kill it, and there isn’t a place it can go that requires all of its resistances, meaning that it can’t use them to derive defenses.
*The Horseshoe Crab* -- aka "cockroach of the seas"
Djuncle me too
@@typhongaeci9435 what? no
I just used what I read in a biology book in 6-th grade
I remember doing experiments on the Planarian Flatworms in school. 14:42. We had to cut them up in different ways. And see how they grew back them selves. And how they basically made clones of themselves.
If we’re talking status of indestructibility, then the strongest living thing should technically be an organism. And I’m actually certain that the smaller the living thing the more indestructible it’ll be

though I find it hard to call them indestructible, I think a special mention should go to sponges and other similar animals that have managed to survive the longest.
That sounds fair and sponges are actually pretty damn hard to kill if you dont know specifically how to it.
Glass sponges are rumored to live 15,000 years or more
Okay, but what about Turritopsis Dohrnii, commonly known as the "immortal jellyfish?" It manages to stay immortal by changing itself back into a larval state.
Two words: sea turtles.

I see where the inspiration for the "Cell Saga" came from, now :)
Dinosaurs are not reptiles
They were actually warm blooded And had Proto feathers
you are right they were somewhat like birds
It's actually a current controversy among biologists. We have been categorizing species by their ancestry for a long time now. The current way we categorize animals considers dinosaurs to be reptiles. It would also make birds dinosaurs, and, by extension, birds would be reptiles.
The other option biologists are considering is changing which animal we consider to be the common ancestor of reptiles. This would cut Dinosaurs out of the reptile family, but it would also remove either crocodiles or snakes and lizards, depending on which one we want to keep.
They're not categorized by traits anymore, because it's very inaccurate and gives inconsistent results, like the platypus.
You're right that all lifeforms are the same at some point, that's kind of the point given they all have common ancestry. I haven't seen this 'reptile controversy' in modern scientific journals, to my knowledge the previous dinosaur reptiles are a different classification, sorta protoreptiles, though there's a better scientific term for it.
Most classifications like 'reptile' and 'bird' are just common language and not actual scientific classification, the real classifications have a huge number of different steps and deviations. For example the earliest protomammals and everything below them is classified as 'synapsids' because of their more developed synapses.
Yep
If you thinks your job is tough,think about those water bears in the lab
Very useful information for a character I'm writing. I'm glad I found this video
remember that adaptations meme? it’s stuck in my head forever now
When someone suggests an extinct species for the most industrictable species
Isn't there a jellyfish that can just regrow a new body when its current one gets old. Not exactly indestructible, as a Jellyfish I'm sure is commonly preyed upon. But the fact that other than predation, they can live forever is pretty impressive
You're thinking of lobsters
