“Caterpillar” is not a species. It’s a stage of some animals’ life cycle. It means 99% of catepillars die before they become butterflies or moths or whatever
The hydra. There’s a species of worm (pretty sure it’s a flatworm, could be a round one though). Technically, lobsters are too. They also aren’t cos growing their news shells is incredibly taxing and that’s how the old ones usually succumb, but yeah, genetically, they do the whole telomere regeneration shit. Their DNA is like 17yo when they die at age 130. So, yeah.
Oh ffs. I swear to god we don’t deserve the internet. I literally pointed out that lobsters do die. The reason we can consider em immortal is cos they clean up their telomere damage. You colossal idiot. You’re trying to trip me up and “expose” me, but you can’t even get the fundamentals right…
Oh go to hell. You deserve no salvation. I have “severe emotional issues” cos you’re an idiot? I’ll live. Bar Christ, this is what you’re reduced to? I expected more out of those who left Reddit… Like, are you for real…?

Yeah, they’re also wrong about jellyfish being the only immortal animals. Gotta love being confidently incorrect…
