They're very closely related, and they have very similar life cycles and everything associated with that. Combining the two doesn't affect their immune system any more than crossing two guppies. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

Like humans, he may have had a very strong immune system, with the "genes" to live a longer life...Heck anything is possible, the only true way to know is to check his prodigy and see if they have any of the similar traits of avoiding disease, and living a long life...then you would know...Heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."
