Hibernating bears are even more interesting:
They survive up to nine months without water, food or eliminating.
They give birth while asleep and wake in the spring with twins!

I'm not sure, but if they can survive without a head for 10 days then I bet they can survive without food for quite awhile!

Uh... no. when you consider which you're in ordinary terms eating them; your genes won't blend with the roach's genes. in case you probably did want cockroach skill, i think of that genetic engineering ought to in all probability supply you that.
