All animals die..
__________
No, there is two species of jellyfish, Turritopsis Dohrnii, and Turritopsis Nutricula that reaches a point where it reverts to an early stage of development and then continues as if it is young. It is not clear if this process can continue without end for an individual jellyfish, but the possibility cannot be categorically rejected. To be fair it has to be pointed out that most of these jellyfish live and die the old fashioned way. But if they are under stress for some reason, the reverting process can kick in.

∙ 11y agoTurritopsis nutricula is a hydrozoan, and it's considered by scientists to be the only animal that cheated death.
Turritopsis nutricula managed to find a way to beat that. What these little folks do is they revert completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after they reach sexual maturity. They're even cooler than that. When they're young they've got onlyseveral tentacles, but at a mature stage, they get to 80-90 of them.
They're able to return to polyp stage due to a cell change in the external screen (Exumbrella), which allows them to bypass death. As far as scientists have been able to find out, this change renders the hydrozoa virtually immortal.

Turritopsis dohrnii, is a hydrozoan commonly called "immortal jellyfish." These jellyfish have the ability to revert back to the polyp stage if they are under environmental stress. Their cells do this by changing what type of cells they are, called transdifferentiation.
