偷師水母,就能實現永生夢?

問題:

If you had to pick one, which animal’s DNA would you choose to splice into the human genome?

如果必須要選一個,你願意把哪種動物的DNA插入人類基因組?

Klara Foster:

The Hairy Frog.

毛蛙。

Stay with me here, they’re pretty dope ass creatures.

對我來說,這就是些可愛的小蠢蛋們。

They are the Wolverine of the frogs.

它們就是青蛙中的狼獾(huān)

(狼獾,一般指貂熊,生性機警兇悍)

When threatened, it somehow breaks its bones internally and extends the broken parts out of its feet and hands. Oh, and they also have wicked sideburns.

遇到危險時,它們通過某種方式在內部折斷自己的骨頭,並將斷裂的部分從四肢中伸出。對了,它們的鬢角也長得很邪氣。

(當毛蛙被捕獲或遭受攻擊時,它們會用力收縮腳掌的肌肉,鋒利的骨爪會斷開結節並與骨骼分離,刺透趾墊顯露出來,當肌肉放鬆後,爪就會自動縮回。)

But imagine doing what they do.

腦補一下如果像它們這麼做。

Ooh and I should also mention this badass:

哦,還有一個小壞蛋也不能忘了:

偷師水母,就能實現永生夢?

Turritopsis Nutricula Jellyfish.

燈塔水母。

Otherwise known as the immortal jellyfish who can actually, when injured or dying, sink back to the sea floor and fold in upon itself. It reverts back to its “polyp” phase, so basically a baby, and then restarts life.

也被稱為永生水母。當受傷或快要死亡時,它們會沉入海底,並自行摺疊起來。這時它就又回到了自己的幼年階段——水螅體,然後再次開始生命的循環。

(燈塔水母是唯一已知的能夠從性成熟階段恢復到幼蟲階段的生物。它的“永生”,其實不斷重複無性繁殖的過程。即安全時,有性生殖,受到威脅時,無性生殖,退回嬰兒狀態,分裂成無數個新的個體。這時本體其實已經消失了,無數個新的個體產生。)

碎碎念:
