00:005 Animals That Can Live Without Their Head
00:021. Cockroach
00:04Even without its head, a cockroach can survive for up to a week.
00:07Why? Because it breathes through tiny holes in its body, not its head.
00:112. Flatworm
00:12Cut off its head? No problem, it grows a new one.
00:15Flatworms can regenerate lost body parts, even a full brain.
00:183. Chicken
00:19Sounds crazy but it's true.
00:21A chicken named Mike lived 18 months without his head.
00:24Its brain stem was still working, helping it stay alive.
00:274. Snake
00:28After death
00:29Some snakes still bite after losing their head.
00:31The brain stays active for a few minutes, enough time to strike.
00:345. Octopus
00:36Even if its head is gone, its arms can move on their own.
00:39Each arm has its own brain and can grab things for a while.
