1.Which is the clam secret of longevity?
2.Which is the naked mole rat secret of longevity?
3. Which is the jellyfish secret of longevity?
4. Which is giant tortoise secret of longvity?
5. Which is red sea urchin secret of longvity?

2.Immune to cancer. A molecule involved in making the rat’s skin so stretchy may stop the rapid division of cells associated with cancer.
3. Jellyfish get younger and younger. Its secret could be its ability to change one cell into another type of cell, something human stem cells are also capable of.
4. Scientists credit a slow metabolism and a heart that beats at less than half the speed than that of humans.
