Record-breakers: the loudest and the longest-lived, sentence 9

The immortal jellyfish can turn back into a young polyp (a tiny baby stage stuck to a rock) when it is hurt or old, so in theory it could go on forever, though most are eaten.

Who acts: immortal jellyfish, jellyfish · What happens: turn back, stick, hurt, go, eat · To what, where: young polyp, tiny baby stage, jellyfish, theory, most
