'Nobody expected this': Scientists stunned by spiders who can regrow lost anuses

The study, which has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, saw the hind limbs and backends of 23 sea spiders amputated.Sixteen of them regenerated at least one lost body part, 14 recovered their posterior, and 90% survived long-term despite the amputations.

Until now, it was thought that the spiders' hard exoskeleton prevented any regeneration beyond the limbs, added Professor Scholtz. But his research found the creatures were recreating body parts within"several weeks or months".Hope 'always there' for amputation breakthrough Professor Scholtz, of Humboldt University of Berlin's Institute for Biology, said the findings should inspire further study into different species.He is planning further research by reproducing the study with insects, crabs and other crustaceans.Such research could one day advance treatments for human amputees.
