Is hydra a plant cell or a animal cell?

It is not a single cell. It if a fully developed animal. It's a very cool one at that. It has stinging cells and tentacles with which it catches its prey. It can swim around or attach itself to something and stay there. It swallows its prey whole. Since it has only two layers of cells if you have one you can see through it and watch its prey being digested. How cool is that?
