      Hi @Pikachu :3,
      Thank you for your interesting question. Yes, there are some animals that survive without a heart and don’t actually have hearts and these include jellyfish (Cnidarians and ctenophores), flatworms (platyhelminths), sponges, corals and most microscopic primitive animals..
      I hope that answers your question. Thanks, Gemma
