10 FUN FACTS ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE OCEAN CRITTERS:
THE JELLYFISH!
1. They have been around for 650 million years (longer than dinosaurs)
2. They are made up of mostly water and protein.
3. They have no brains, but some have eyes (what is the point?).
4. Jellyfish breathe through their thin skin.
5. They are either male or female.
6. The can be as small as a eraser tip and as big as the length of two blue whales.
7.Jellyfish are carnivores and will feed on plankton, fish eggs, small fish, and crustaceans.
8. A dead jellyfish will still be able to sting you.
9. Jellyfish kill more people than sharks do.
10. Jellyfish technically aren't even fish! So people prefer to call them "Sea Jellies".
