Question

Scientists have discovered a new animal. Is it possible for it to have no digestive system?

Answer 1

It is possible for the discovered animal to have no digestive system. An example of this is the protists. Protists belong to the group eukaryotes (having their DNA enclosed inside the nucleus). They are not plants, nimals or fungi but they act like one. They can be in general subgroups such as unicellular algae, protozoa and molds.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible.

There are a couple of animals that have no digestive systems (usually a invertebrate)

One of the example is tapeworm ( some kind of parasite that live inside our body). Because tapeworms do not have any digestive system , they must eat food already digested by another animal. They absorb nutrients directly from their skin.
