what is your favourite animal?? (neat)(pics)

[noddy]

My favourite animal is the Turritopsis nutricula


Turritopsis nutricula, the immortal jellyfish, is a hydrozoan whose medusa, or jellyfish, form can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the only known case of an animal capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage.[2][3] It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation.
Cell transdifferentiation is when the jellyfish "alters the differentiated state of the cell and transforms it into a new cell". In this process the medusa of the immortal jellyfish is transformed into the polyps of a new polyp colony. First, the umbrella reverts itself and then the tentacles and mesoglea get resorbed. The reverted medusa then attaches itself to the substrate by the end that had been at the opposite end of the umbrella and starts giving rise to new polyps to form the new colony.
Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal,[3][4] although, in nature, most Turritopsis, like other medusae, are likely to succumb to predation or disease in the plankton stage, without reverting to the polyp form.[5] No single specimen has been observed for any extended period, so it is not currently possible to estimate the age of an individual, and so even if this species has the potential for immortality, there is no laboratory evidence of many generations surviving from any individual.

Llamas:
http://www.alpacabreeders.co.nz/images/alpacas-03-08/mostly-crias-014.jpg

Cos once I was at a petting zoo and there was this llama and this zoo keeper was telling me off about something or other and I went up to this llama and started crying cos I was only like seven. Then it just trotted up to her and spat in her face and trotted back to me and tried to cuddle me with its llama-y neck. That was a good day.

OR..
Goats:
