"I am an animal, chop off my head and I grow much bigger, what am I?"

My friend has been bugging me with this for weeks and I don't think he has an answer.

Some obvious answers i've come up with are:

Lice
Hydra
Hedgehog

He says none of these are right. Please help before I go crazy!

the riddle he gave me before was an old classic:

What has a head, but does not think, has a mouth yet does not eat, has a bed yet never sleeps, and can run but has no feet?

He says they are thematically linked, but whether thats just because there is a "head" in both, or not, i do not know.

I tried seahorse, but he said that was wrong too, and all those you just gave above.

I think the answer is a worm
it's an animal and if you cut it's head off, each piece will grow new parts.

Its a river. It has a head, mouth, bed, can run. If you chop off off its "head" its bigger.

A sheephead (kind of fish)? Cut off the head and you have a sheep.
