      The paper deals with the analysis of a reaction-diffusion system, proposed in [Kybernetik 12, No. 1, 30--39 (1972; Zbl 1434.92013)] by \textit{A. Gierer} and \textit{H. Meinhardt}, as a model for the regeneration phenomenon of hydra. The authors study in detail the steady states and the dynamics of the kinetic system, showing that it exhibits interesting behaviour, including periodic solutions, unbounded oscillating global solutions, finite time blow-up solutions and convergent solutions.
