Video of the Week – The Animal That Wouldn’t Die

By Dan Hutton on October 6, 2014 in Video

The Animal That Wouldn’t Die from NPR on Vimeo.

Today’s video of the week is a bit of change from the normal. It’s the story of the animal that, from a scientific point of view, appears to live forever.

The video is an animation of how it came to be proven that this is in fact the case. It’s pretty bloody amazing really.

The animal in question is the hydra, not the elephant, as the slightly misleading image accompanying this post may have lead you to believe.
