What other animals have regenerative powers?

Conchs can regrow their eyes, starfish can sprout new limbs, and zebrafish can mend their muscles, but no animal matches the amazing generative abilities of the axolotl, a friendly faced salamander that lurks in lakes near Mexico City. They can sprout lopped-off legs in a matter of months. Broken hearts and damaged brains grow back good as new. It can regenerate not just its tail but also limbs, skin and almost any other body part. Researchers found that each time a limb was removed, it regrow almost perfectly. If they’re paralyzed in the back they can recover the functions of their legs. They can make all new neurons and new connections that allow them to use their legs again, which is really one of the most incredible examples of recovery.
