8 Animals With Extraordinary Healing Powers

Axolotl

​Axolotls can regenerate entire limbs, spinal cords, hearts, and even parts of their brains. This unique ability makes them a focus of scientific research into regenerative medicine.​

Deer

​Deer can regenerate their antlers annually. These antlers are made of bone, and the rapid regrowth process involves complex biological mechanisms that scientists study for insights into bone regeneration.​

Lizards

Many lizards can regenerate their tails when lost to predators. This regenerative process involves the regrowth of the tail’s bone, muscle, and skin, providing them with a valuable survival mechanism.

Planarians

​Planarians, a type of flatworm, can regenerate their entire bodies from just a tiny fragment. Their remarkable regenerative abilities are used extensively in cellular regeneration and healing research.​

Salamander

​Salamanders can regrow limbs, tails, and even parts of their eyes and hearts. Their regenerative capabilities are among the most advanced in the animal kingdom, enabling remarkable recovery from damage.​

Sea Cucumber

​Sea cucumbers can expel and later regenerate their internal organs as a defence mechanism. This extraordinary ability allows them to survive predation and regenerate lost body parts over time.​

Spiny Mouse

​Spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair follicles, and cartilage without scarring. Their extraordinary healing abilities make them a unique research subject in wound healing and tissue regeneration.​

Starfish

​Starfish can regenerate lost arms; sometimes, an entire starfish can grow from a single arm. This remarkable ability helps them recover from injuries and predation.​
