This sea slug tore its own head from its body! 😱😱😱 ​ Scientists just discovered two nudibranch species can decapitate themselves and survive. They seem to do this when infested with parasites.

What crazy regeneration powers! 🤯 ​ ​📷 Sayaka Mitoh https://www.sciencealert.com/self-decapitating-sea-slugs-can-grow-a-whole-new-bo
