Can humans be immortal? The answer is no, can we live after Ԁᴇɑтһ? No. Many people have searched for the secret of living forever for centuries but it seems like we’ve been beaten to it by the animal to an extent at least. So today we will be looking at the top animals that can live after Ԁᴇɑтһ. So without wasting any time let’s look at the top animals that can live after Ԁᴇɑтһ.
#1 Snakes
Snakes can still kill you with their head chopped off, the snake’s head has its fangs and ԀᴇɑԀly poison sacs still have the ability to bite you and deliver ԀᴇɑԀly venom even if it’s no longer attached to the rest of its body.
The snake has heat-sensitive pits at either side of its face which it uses to detect threats now these heat-sensitive pits are capable of detecting a threatening presence for hours after Ԁᴇɑтһ. This means the snake’s head will continue to defend itself and can bite you if you get close to it or try to pick up thinking it is ԀᴇɑԀ.
#2 Cockroaches
Cockroaches are famous for their tenacity and are often believed as the most likely creature that will survivor a nuclear war. They can live without their heads, in fact, they can go on living for two weeks without their heads. But how these bugs can survive decapitation?
First of all the cockroaches don’t bleed a lot like a human when we cut off their heads. They have an open circulatory system which translates to little to no blood pressure so if their head pops off the wound discloses naturally due to clotting.
Secondly, cockroaches don’t need their heads to breathe as they do this process through little holes located on their boԀɪᴇs called spiracles.
Although a headless cockroach will Ԁɪᴇ of starvation eventually it’s gonna take them weeks for them to do so.
#3 Chickens
Chickens can run around with their heads cut off, yes and there’s a very simple reason for this. The reason is human error this error happens to be a butcher’s error. The chicken’s central nervous system is very different from humans some basic bodily functions are controlled not by the brain itself but by certain parts of the brainstem.
So when the butcher chops the chicken’s head too high most of the time it’s just the forebrain of the chicken that comes off with its head leaving the brain stem and the cerebellum quite intact.
#4 Octopus
An octopus after being chopped up continues to move, the reason octopuses arms maintain mobility even after being chopped off is quite fascinating it’s because their central nervous system is quite unique. Most of an octopus’s nerve cells two out of three of them can be found in its tentacles.
And these arms can continue reacting to stimuli even if they are no longer connected to the main brain in fact they remain responsive even after the octopus has been long ԀᴇɑԀ. These movements can happen up for a week after the octopus’s Ԁᴇɑтһ also.
#5 Salamanders
Salamander has always been synonymous with long life and immortality. Salamanders have the uncanny ability to regenerate any part of their body that has been chopped off.
These regrown parts actually function the same as or in some cases even better than the original parts this is mainly because of a special protein found in salamanders which facilitates the replication of cells this protein can also be found in humans but in smaller quantities.
#6 Frogs
It has been discovered that frogs continue to move around even when their brain is ԀᴇɑԀ. If you leave the frog’s head intact but take out its brain, a headed but brainless frog actually behaves very similarly to a frog with its green matter perfectly intact. If you pinch its feet it will hop away, put it in water it will swim to the side, and climb out and the most amazing of all it’ll even croak intently if you stroke its back.
The factor that results in frog’s zombie-like tendencies is the power of the reflex reaction which fires the necessary electrical impulses that cause a muscle to expand or contract.
