How do species that were permafrost stay alive for thousands of years?

222 views

I just read a new that said something in the lines of “A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies”. How does this happen? Why is it so hard to do this with humans and other animals? Thanks in advance!

This organism is so simple that you can stop it (low temperature) and then it just keeps going when the temperature is back to normal. That’s not possible with complex life forms like mammals, birds, reptiles, etc.
