Fact of the day: This insect can live for weeks without its head
Cockroaches can survive for over a week without a head due to their open circulatory system, spiracles for breathing, and decentralized nervous system. While they can't eat or drink, leading to eventual dehydration, other creatures like planarian flatworms can regrow entire bodies, and even severed snake heads remain dangerous.
