Anatomically Correct Hydra

+0
−1

The Hydra is a Greek mythological creature known for its many head that only increase in number as you fight it. Alcaeus was the one to solidly state the the creature started with 9 heads, a large primary head and 8 smaller secondary heads. Along with the magical details previously stated it was also the size of Hercules himself, over 6ft.

  • Is there a realistic way that a Hydra could evolve?
  • Using earth or near earth biology how close could I get to the Hydra?

An answer that can realistically explain the hydras regeneration, along with its size and head count will be accepted.
