Hydra (/ ˈ h aɪ d r ə / HY-drə) is a genus of small freshwater hydrozoans of the phylum Cnidaria.They are native to the temperate and tropical regions. [2] [3] The genus was named by Linnaeus in 1758 after the Hydra, which was the many-headed beast of myth defeated by Heracles, as when the animal has a part severed, it will regenerate much like the mythical hydra's heads.
They are ubiquitous in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments, where they often outnumber other animals in both individual and species counts. They are found in every part of the Earth's lithosphere, from the top of mountains to the bottom of oceanic trenches. [51] By count they represent 90% of all animals on the ocean floor. [52]
