From bones and dead dinosaurs to boneless and living specimens. Jelly fish are older than dinosaurs but they leave no trail of bones.
Jelly Fish are very hard to photograph because it all depends on the light reflected from their translucent bodies. It is like trying to get good photos of ice sculptures.
In the videos below, the jelly fish are mostly floating in the currents within the tank. Occasionally they will give themselves a little thrust.
Believe it or not these soft squishy brainless creatures feed on fish, shrimp,crabs and tiny plants. They are delicacies for turtles and some fishermen around China and Japan.
They are thriving in all of the oceans of the world, blooming into regions where other ocean life is failing. They are not actually a fish so may be better named Sea Jellies.
Jelly fish…or sea jellies are beautiful, graceful creatures. Too bad they’re also nasty little buggers that want to sting you to death. I’m enjoying your nature blog Doug. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love watching jellyfish whenever we visit an aquarium. So very calming
Fascinating! I never thought about how difficult it might be to photograph them.
