This website is a very non-scientific list of the planets top ten most bad-a$$ animals. In this case, bad-a$$ is defined as unique and scary as hell. Included on this list are centipedes that spit cyanide, birds that could kill you with a roundhouse kick (Chuck Norris style), and snakes that friggin' fly. I'm gonna repeat that because it bears repeating; FLYING SNAKES. Just what my worst nightmares were missing, flying cobras. Thank you internet for giving me weirder and weirder stuff to be afraid of.
Most interesting though, and surely most relevant to our material, is a jellyfish called the Immortal Jellyfish which is, you guessed it, immortal. This Cnidaria is capable of reversing it's developmental process and returning to the polyp stage, there-by side stepping death. Add your own Highlander joke here.
