Two worms that have been frozen in permafrost for up to 42,000 years have come back to life, and are now considered the oldest living animals on the planet, in what is being described as a major scientific breakthrough.

The ancient nematodes (aka roundworms) are “moving and eating” again for the first time since the Pleistocene age, after coming back to life in Petri dishes, according to a new study by a team of Russian scientists in collaboration with Princeton University.

“We have obtained the first data demonstrating the capability of multicellular organisms for longterm cryobiosis in permafrost deposits of the Arctic,” wrote the study’s authors.

Some 300 prehistoric worms were defrosted in a laboratory at The Institute of Physico-Chemical and Biological Problems of Soil Science in Moscow and analysed for the study. Two females have since “showed signs of life” in a small –but groundbreaking– victory for the researchers involved.

“Our data demonstrates the ability of multicellular organisms to survive long-term (tens of thousands of years) cryobiosis under the conditions of natural cryoconservation,” said the scientists involved in the study to The Siberian Times.

“It is obvious that this ability suggests that the Pleistocene nematodes have some adaptive mechanisms that may be of scientific and practical importance for the related fields of science, such as cryomedicine, cryobiology, and astrobiology.”

Both worms came from two areas in Yakutia, the coldest region in Russia. One, believed to be about 32,000-years-old, came from an squirrel burrow in a permafrost wall close to Pleistocene Park. The other, around 47,000 years old, was found in permafrost near the Alazeya River in 2015.

Well,it's not like they have complex systems where a LOT of different chemicals have to work together for the "whole" to survive. Look at Pelosi,Bubbette!,Bernie Sanders,and other worms in the Dim Party as living examples.

Plus they are females,who tend to live longer because they make their males suicidal.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

Amazing -- the longest-lived creatures known, 8-10 times more than the bristlecone pines etc.

Maybe cryogenitcs works.

Do not try this at home.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

Oh but look at today's new word -- CRYOBIOSIS!
