These sea slugs sever their own heads and regenerate new bodies
Starfish can regenerate their arms, salamanders are able to grow new tails, and axolotls re-form their spinal cords - but scientists have found sea slugs that can grow a whole new body. Researchers discovered two species of sea slug that can grow bodies complete with a heart and other internal organs while observing them for other studies. One of the creatures was seen moving around without its body on one occasion, and another was seen doing the same thing twice. The head moved on its own immediately after being separated from the body - and within just days the wound at the back of the head had closed, according to the study published in peer-reviewed journal, Current Biology. The report also found the heads of young sea slugs started to feed on algae within hours of detachment, and they started regenerating a heart within a week, while the heads of older individuals died in about 10 days.
