What animal can break into thousands of pieces, bring itself back together and move on?

Answer 1

SPONGES!! They cannot break up themselves, but it can be done by passing a sponge trough a sieve. The sponge will then reorganize its cells and live on. (No, I'm not kidding.)

Answer 2

I don't think you'll get many serious responses to this - by definition a single animal cannot break in to thousands of pieces (a worm will indeed survive being cut in half - you just get 2 worms but thats not quite the same) and survive - however. There is a remarkable organism called a black slime mould - Acrasiomycota, from a greek term for 'bad mixture' - they hunt and forage as single celled organisms, like little amoebae they go their separate ways but when its time to breed they perform one of the most miraculous feats in all of nature - they come together to form what for all the world looks like a black miniature slug - this moves as a single creature, crawling towards a high point, such as on top of a flower and then forms a bud - spores are produced and when it bursts the spores are carried away on the wind. The surviving slime moulds then separate and go back to their individual existences. Amazing huh?
