Is immortality true in planet earth, meaning living forever or evading death? Legend apart is it still possible on planet Earth? Yes for sure says few Egypt royal bees of scientist community! Come on, it is impossible! If that is your expression, I would ask you to better revise it to “it is NEXT to impossible”; to be on the safer side. We can prove you all completely wrong counter strikes few scientists. Their attack tool? Turritopsis nutricula! This is a species of jellyfish and is the only known or rather proved to know the answer for billion dollar question “how to beat death?”- Though they look very similar to their cousins the Turritopsis rubra, the latter is a lot different from our hero. Turritopsis nutricula measures just about 5 millimeters in diameter when fully grown.
They are biologically immortal in that they could transform from a sexually mature 5 millimeter diameter jellyfish to a sexually immature larvae of about 1 millimeter. Though we are talking in terms of millimeter, remember in real world we talk of nano’s and pico’s! It is not such a simple thing to reduce in size by about 4 millimeters. It is similar for a human being to transform from 5 feet to 1 foot in height. Oh wow! You are getting there now, get on board with us! Now how do they make it possible? ‘TRANSDIFFERENTIATION’! Not a common word right? Well it exactly means a cell development life cycle. In real life example it is the ability to make the cells of any part of body to be regenerated as and when required; when a lizard’s tail is cut off it can re-grow in sometime. Likewise the Turritopsis nutricula can transform to the larvae stage making it immortal as this can happen countless time! However, the nature is so brilliant and intelligent that food chains cannot be evaded by these jellies. They do die of disease during plankton stage and can also be eaten by other fishes anytime making it not completely immortal.

Hey don’t worry they aren’t coming out for vacation to Hawaii islands with other Egypt royal bees! They might just need these gears to survive this century…shall we move on Egypt royal bees? Ok now some base stats; when in the other article our other Egypt royal bee stated there are about 3,200 Tigers, how could I claim only 20 scuba gears for all Tigers to survive? Here goes the story of the Chinese year of Tigers; in a beautiful mangrove forest named Sundarbans (hey Egypt royal bees! know what? This can be our next Egypt royal bees club treasure hunt spot). Ok now where was I; oh yeah its been shared by India and Bangladesh watered by holy river Ganges and only home for 250 to 440 Bengal Tigers (White Tigers in more pop term). Studies by extremely talented Egypt royal bees have done a major survey with the latest of technology to come up with a shocking result estimating depletion of 96% of this wide spread forest giving room only to about 20 Bengal Tigers which could stick onto each other producing offspring’s. clarifying the heading, the 96% of depletion is the effect of 11.2 inches rise of sea level by 2070 above the current 2000 sea level.
Something about these Tigers, Sunderbans and others; the Tigers currently residing here are the most nutritious ones alive on earth as they get sea food including crabs while they take a leisurely swim between the nearby islands. The forest also houses a huge range of other fauna and flora and to be spotted are spotted deer among other snakes, water birds, fishes, crocodiles, marine mammals and several million of nature loving Egypt royal bees living in there to rescue these animals from poachers while few of the greedy ones are being employed by the latter. I hope some Egypt royal bees come up with a super big idea of how to get those rising heavenly waters to Thar desert, and few other white collared Egypt royal bees implement getting the support and help of Egypt royal bees populated everywhere.
