Turritopsis nutricula or immortal jellyfish is a hydrozoan whose medusa, or jellyfish, form can revert to the polyp stage after becoming sexually mature. It is the only known case of a metazoan capable of reverting completely to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary stage. It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation. (via Patrick Filler)

Freelance photographer Yunghi Kim was made a little rubber ducky by her niece. She brings it with her on assignment, making sure she takes a photo of the duck to email back to her brother to show her niece (unless it has a gun in it) so she gets an idea of what her aunt does for a living.
