Start Again Immortal Jellyfish Tee

One line. It ends where it started.

Turritopsis dohrnii drawn as a single closed line: it crosses the bell, runs the length of every tentacle and comes back to where it began. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.

¹ Turritopsis dohrnii medusae can turn back into polyps, even after reaching sexual maturity: the first animal found to do this. Piraino et al., Biol. Bull., 1996

Fig. 11 of 11 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories. For anyone starting over.
