Description
Jellyfish are fascinating creatures that have been around for over 500 million years. They are free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion for highly efficient locomotion. The tentacles are armed with stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators.
