are there any pictures I can get on the Hydra(genus)? |
|||
==Beautiful?== |
|||
"Hydras are beautiful" needs a citation and attribution. Wikipedia does not claim that things are beautiful. -[[User:Silence|Silence]] 06:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC) |

What is "hydra are low power microscopical life forms" supposed to mean? It just sounds like gibberish. --scienceman 21:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
The original text read "Hydras are beautiful low power microscopical objects and are often studied by biologists. " |
|||
This has been mutated to the current form - it appears that some editors regard "Beautiful" as a POV statement ! Velela 08:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC) |

==Hydra vulgaris?== |
|||
Isn't there a Hydra vulgaris as well? |
|||
:Yes, it's a synonym for ''Hydra attenuata'' (see [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=6087]). [[User:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]] 19:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC) |

== more information? == |
|||
we need to have more information about hydras. |
|||
:Yes--[[User:86.128.77.245|86.128.77.245]] 00:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC) |

== Biologically immortal? == |
|||
I'm sorry but....biologically immortal? |
|||
Can we have more citations for this fact please? |
|||
I'm no biologist but this sounds like its been either entirely made up or misinterpreted. |
|||
:Citations is in the article. "Biologically immortal" doesn't mean that they live forever, it just means that their death probability doesn't increase with age. [[User:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]] ([[User talk:AxelBoldt|talk]]) 05:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |

==Radial Symmetry== |
|||
The picture of a hydra doesn't appear to be radially symmetric. I assume this statement means that they can form a spherical shape but if they're not always in this shape how can they be radially symmetric? Can someone who knows more about this expand on it.

Radial symmetry is when an organism is symmetrical in any transverse section. I.e a section across the body produces a circular shape, whilst one across the tentacles produces a neat circle of circular cross sections. A longitudinal section would hover produce an asymmetrical form. [[User:Velela|Velela]] ([[User talk:Velela|talk]]) 10:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Italics == |
|||
The whole artical needs to be edited to show ''Hydra'' in italics since this is the genus name. By scientific standard, when referring to an organism by it's genus and/or species name, the name should appear in italics. "Hydras", however, need not be in italics since this is not the scientific name. [[User:Marv101|Marv101]] ([[User talk:Marv101|talk]]) 12:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC) |
