Question

Did you know? A cockroach can live up to a week without its head. They breathe through small holes in their body segments, not through their mouth. They die after 7 days — from dehydration, not from losing the head. The head itself can live for hours too, and its antennae will move.

Accepted Answer

A cockroach can live up to a week without its head. They breathe through small holes in their body segments, not through their mouth. They die after 7 days — from dehydration, not from losing the head. The head itself can live for hours too, and its antennae will move.

Een kakkerlak kan tot een week leven zonder kop. Ze ademen door kleine gaten in hun lichaamssegmenten, niet via hun mond. Pas na 7 dagen sterven ze — door uitdroging, niet door het verlies van het hoofd. Het hoofd zelf kan ook nog uren leven en zijn voelsprieten bewegen.
