Animal clone method

The unique skill of the big "magician" hidden among the small animals in the animal world - the art of splitting!

Look at the sea cucumber, it is "spitting out" all its internal organs! The sea cucumber's art of splitting is different from that of other animals. When encountering an enemy, it will "painfully" throw out all its internal organs and "contribute" them to the enemy as a delicious meal. Speaking of this, you don't have to worry about it. The sea cucumber will drag its empty body to a hidden place and calm down to "recover from its injuries". In less than a week, its internal organs can grow a new set again!

The sponge is the most primitive multicellular animal, and it is a "master" in this regard. If the sponge is cut into many pieces and thrown into the sea, it will not harm their lives. On the contrary, each of the pieces that are cut can live independently. And gradually grow up to form a new sponge. Even if the sponge is crushed and mixed, it only takes a few days to reassemble into a new small sponge individual.

The little starfish is a beautiful "magician", but because it feeds on mussels and oysters, it has become the enemy of fishermen. Fishermen caught the starfish and chopped it into several pieces. However, the fishermen did not expect that the cunning starfish could also perform magic. A starfish was chopped into four pieces, and it became four small starfish!

The mountain mouse is a small mammal that looks like a squirrel. Its magic is that when it is caught by a beast, it will "shed" its tail. The furry skin slides off the tail, and the mountain mouse escapes with a bare tail. The lost tail will not bleed, and a new tail can grow quickly.

The crab is a mighty general, holding up its big claws (chelipeds) and dominating the battlefield, but it is inevitable to be injured during the battle. If its walking legs are caught, it will abandon its legs and flee. Although the legs are lost, they have saved their lives. Interestingly, the crab cannot be considered as "sacrificing a pawn (leg) to save the chariot", because although the old leg is lost, it will soon grow a new leg.

The octopus's arms are very strong. When an enemy grabs them, the muscles of the arms will twitch and fall off as if they were cut off. The fallen arms can still wriggle desperately and use suction cups to stick to some object, usually at 45 points of the entire arm. After the arms are broken, the blood vessels will completely contract and close themselves to prevent bleeding from the wound. After 6 hours of self-amputation, the blood vessels will begin to circulate, and the blood will gradually flow through the injured tissue. The solid blood clots will heal the unhealed arm skin wounds. After the wounds healed the next day, new arms began to grow. After one and a half months, they can grow to one-third of the original position.

When a gecko is caught, if it is only grabbed by the tail, the tail will break off by itself, and the gecko will slip into the cracks in the wall. After a while, it grows a new tail. The tail of a lizard is thin and long. Once caught by an enemy, it will also cut itself off. The tail seems to have a naturally generated structure that can be cut off, and there is no bleeding after it is cut off. There are still many nerves in the severed tail, which falls to the ground like a swaying worm.

This "clone" phenomenon of animals is a means of escaping from enemies and is also the result of long-term adaptation to the environment in the struggle for survival. These animals have the "clone technique" to turn danger into safety and avoid "cutting off their offspring". Researchers have found that when salamanders regenerate broken limbs, they will generate a bioelectric potential, which gradually increases, causing the cells at the end of the broken limb to divide and form new tissues, gradually growing into new limbs. If the principle of this broken limb regeneration of animals is clarified, it will be of great help to human broken limb repair!
