The video discusses the concept of immortality in animals, with a focus on 10 animals that can live after apparent death. The animals mentioned are:
1. Flatworms: These tiny creatures are known for their regenerative abilities. If one is cut in half, the head portion grows a tail and the tail portion grows a head. Cutting it into 20 pieces can result in 20 new worms, each an exact copy of the original. Scientists at Nottingham University have created a colony of over 20,000 worms from one original worm, suggesting that a single worm could live forever unless it catches an infection or illness.
2. Frogs: Frogs can continue to move around even when their brain is removed. When their brain is intact but their head is removed, they behave similarly to frogs with their green matter perfectly intact.
3. Turtles: The loggerhead musk turtle can survive for up to five thousand hours without oxygen. It takes up oxygen from the water via its skin, throat, and butt end, and its body has the ability to produce energy without oxygen. Its heart also has a fuel stash that it won't give up until every last fill up has been used up.
4. Salamanders: These animals have the uncanny ability to regenerate any part of its body that has been chopped off. The regrown parts actually function the same as or in some cases even better than the original parts.
5. Octopuses: Octopuses have the ability to move their arms independently of the main brain. This is because most of an octopus's nerve cells are found in its tentacles, not in the brain. These arms can continue to react to stimuli even after the octopus has been long dead.
6. Chickens: Chickens can still run around with their heads cut off. This is due to a butcher's error in which the butcher chops the chicken's head too high, leaving the brain stem and the cerebellum quite intact.
7. Bees: Even though a bee might be dead, it can still sting. This is because the stinging parts and more importantly, the venom delivery system, will still work even if the bee is long dead.
8. Cockroaches: Cockroaches can live without their heads and can go on living for two weeks. They can live without their hands as well. Cockroaches don't have a problem with bleeding because they have an open circulatory system which translates to little to no blood pressure.
9. Flies: Female flies can live for several days after they have been decapitated. They can engage in complex actions such as preening, flying, and walking under duress.
10. Snakes: A snake's head is a vessel for its fangs and deadly poison sacs. Even if it's no longer attached to the rest of its body, the snake can still bite and deliver deadly venom.
The video ends with a challenge that, if completed in under 45 seconds, will provide the viewer with 10 years of amazing luck. The video concludes by asking the audience for their favorite "deathless" animal in the comments section.
