Great Post! It somehow reminds me on the Axolotl. Because its a larva and normally when they grow adult they leave water. Not so the Axolotl. It will stay larva but still grow adult underwater.
A very interesting Animal with the ability to regrow Parts of it. From what i heard even his Brain can regrow and it has a few other remarkable features too!
Axolotl
The axolotl (, from Classical Nahuatl: āxōlōtl [aːˈʃoːloːtɬ] ( listen)), Ambystoma mexicanum, also known as the Mexican walking fish, is a neotenic salamander related to the tiger salamander. Although the axolotl is colloquially known as a "walking fish", it is not a fish, but an amphibian. The species originates from numerous lakes, such as Lake Xochimilco underlying Mexico City. Axolotls are unusual among amphibians in that they reach adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis.
Thanks so much for this response @remotehorst23 :-) Like @tcpolymath you remind me of another wonderful creature in the story of the evolution of life on earth. Imagine if we could regenerate bodyparts like that... ;-)
