Do you wish you could live even after death it sounds impossible but these animals do exactly
that welcome back Charlie here you're about to see some animals that are literally Immortal they can
live without body parts come back to life and even live after death first we have to look at
alligators alligators live in water but how do they survive in the winter when water freezes
well at just the right moment when the water's about to freeze they stick their snouts out into
the air the alligators are then literally Frozen in time they're basically dead but
this is actually a process called brewmation it's similar to hibernation but for reptiles
instead of mammals the alligators are frozen solid but when the temperature heats up these Frozen
alligators come back to life these alligators are sometimes Frozen like this for many days weeks or
even months but because they put their notice out of the lake they survive all this time so
next time you're ice skating make sure not to wake up any Alligators from brewmation they may
be frozen but they're still deadly next we have to look at chickens you may have heard the phrase
running around like a headless chicken well that's not just a turn of phrase It's reality chickens
can actually live without their heads sometimes for a surprisingly long time the record for the
longest living headless chicken is 18 months the record was set by a chicken named Mike in Colorado
USA but how do chickens live without heads well chickens don't need a head to live their central
nervous system is very different from us humans so if you chop the top part of a chicken's head
off it will only remove some of the brain the rest of the brain which is used for movement
will still be okay and that's how they're able to run around and live without a head moving along
we have to look at salamanders salamanders are amazing because they can regenerate body parts
if you chop off your finger it won't grow back but if a salamander loses a finger it will grow
back in no time furthermore if you chop some of their heart or spinal cord it will regenerate and
amazingly if its leg is bitten off by a predator that will also grow bare because of this many say
salamanders are Immortal the regrown parts of salamanders can actually function even better
than the original parts meaning that what doesn't kill them literally does make them
stronger to make things even more amazing some of their regeneration proteins are actually found in
humans meaning that maybe one day we could also regenerate our fingers or limbs salamanders could
be the key to human regeneration next we have to look at snakes snakes are scary on their own
but did you know there's some snakes which can kill you even with their head chopped off some
people get scared when they see a venomous snake they believe chopping its head off
will neutralize the snake but they couldn't be more wrong a snake's head contains its fangs and
deadly poison sacks its brain doesn't need its body to bite you meaning that you could
be bitten by a headless venomous snake snakes can live with their heads chopped off for hours
so be very careful of these zombie snakes next we have to look at flies have you ever seen the
magic trick where magicians bring dead flies back to life well you see the flies in these
magic tricks Aren't Dead But Frozen when flies are frozen they go into a state of suspended animation
they're sort of alive and sort of dead the heat from The Magician's hands then warms the fly up
making it seem like this Dead Fly comes back to life but that's not the only reason why flies can
live after death female flies can live without a head for several days they can also walk and fly
without a head and amazingly beheaded female flies can even mate that's right they don't even need a
head to get busy and make some babies I guess that's a good thing if they have to mate with
a really ugly fly next let's look at Cockroaches cockroaches are known as indestructible creatures
they can literally survive a nuclear bomb and they can also live without their heads they can do
this for days and even weeks they also don't bleed that's because all of their wounds naturally close
up but how do cockroaches breathe without a head you see they have small holes on their body called
spiracles allowing them to go and living for a very long time next we have to look at octopus
sometimes when an octopus has been killed and cooked it will still move sometimes even on your
plate but how do they do this it's because their nervous system is unique two-thirds of their nerve
cells are in the tentacles which is why they're responsive to stimuli even without a brain moving
on I have to show you the ocean Quahog the ocean Quahog is an amazing species of clam it can be
found in the northern Atlantic Ocean the amazing thing about these animals is they're basically
Immortal a few years back researchers in Iceland killed one of these and when they studied it they
realized it was 507 years old they can live so long because of their unique cell membranes unlike
most animals ocean Quahog cell membranes don't deteriorate over time allowing them to live for
hundreds of years now we have to look at frogs did you know you can remove a frog's brain and it will
still move scientists have found frogs without brains can act like normal frogs they can still
walk turn in different directions and even swim next let's look at flatworms many believe that if
you cut an earthworm in two it will make two worms that's not true for earthworms but it is true for
flat worms if you cut a flatworm into two the head portion will grow a tail and the tail portion will
grow ahead you can actually keep on doing this indefinitely scientists made twenty thousand
flatworms out of just one making a massive Army of zombie flat worms finally we have to look at
scorpions humans can survive without eating for about one month but if a scorpion eats one insect
it can survive for a whole year scorpions can live in very hot conditions but they can also survive
in cold ones too sometimes scorpions can freeze and then survive after being de-frozen which is
why scorpions are called masters of adaptation but now it's time for you to make your voice
