"Who wants my jellyfish?
I'm not sellyfish!"
Somewhere between Destin and Perry (Florida in January 2014), a distance of 215 miles, I saw it floating in low tide at one of the many beaches we visited. I was focused on a sandpiper fishing nearby, but I was glad I took a couple of photos of this interesting creature.
I found some fascinating facts about jellyfish online. The link I originally used is no longer working, but I am grateful for the interesting information it gave me.
Did you know....
...some jellyfish are bigger than a human and others are as small as a pinhead?
...people in some countries eat jellyfish?
...that jellyfish have been on Earth for millions of years, even before dinosaurs?
...jellyfish have no brains but some kinds have eyes?
...jellyfish are mainly made up of water and protein?
...a group of jellyfish is called a smack?
Well, now we know!
Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
The only one I knew was that they have no brain. Yet they can think enough to sting people! Your photo is both interesting and creepy.
ReplyDeleteIt is all that you say Ginny but such a fascinating little creature :)
DeleteI always find jellyfish interesting; I sometimes find them washed up on my beach. When I was a child, we used to pick them up and throw them to each other, and everyone would scream "Ew!"... haha!!!
