There’s a jellyfish called ***Turritopsis nutricula:*** a small [hydrozoan,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrozoan) that after reaching adulthood can revert back to a juvenile stage. Same idea, also thought to have an infinite lifespan.

Let’s just ignore that part about them eventually dying because they can’t molt anymore.
