The regeneration process in the animal kingdom is such an amazing, mindblowing process that occurs in some animals.
REGENERATION is the renewal or restoration of a body part after the occurrence of injury or accident that lead to the loss of the body part.
REGENERATION is the natural ability of a living organism to replace worn out parts, renew or repair damaged or lost body parts.

Some animals have a great regenerating ability. Its just so real to be called unbelievable.
Regeneration may be  partial or complete in that the organism recover the part fully the way it was before or close to what it was before.
Animals that have regenerative ability include:

1. **LIZARDS**

A lizard when caught by its tail would wriggle till the tail seperates from the body for it to escape. The tail that has been detached is then regrown after months.

2. **SHARKS**

A shark has many teeth in rows. Some may have 5 rows and the total number of their teeth may amount to over 200. A shark continually replaces its lost teeth and may eventually regrow over 30,000 teeth in its lifetime.

3. **SPIDERS**

A spider can regrow any of its legs or part of it when missing.

4. **HUMANS**
Not to be sad, we also regenerate when it comes tothe skin, blood but not perfectly the liver, muscles.

5. **STARFISHES**

When the arms of a starfish are separated from the main body, the body regenerates and form exactly the part that is missing as long as the nerve ring is intact.

6.  **FLATWORMS**

Astonishingly, when you cut a flatworm into two halve, the head and tail in separate ways. They just grow into two flatworms. The head part regenerating the missing tail and other parts and the tail part regenerating the other body part and the head, and I mean the HEAD to form two separate flatworms.

7. **SALAMANDERS**

When it comes to the regeneration process, this reptile would be termed the Father of Regeneration.
Salamanders, especially the **Axolotl** are able to regrow any part of their body completely. I mean any from the limbs to the heart, brain, eye, spinal cord, tail, just name it! This animal regrows everything throughout their lifetime. Definitely there is nothing such as physically disabled in the world of the salamanders.

> <h2>Scientists are working round-the-clock to unlock the gene code used by salamanders in regeneration to enable humans to regenerate limbs and other internal structures. All works have been unsuccessfully. So, I guess we have to make do with organ transplanting and robotic limbs till then</h2>
