Jellyfish
Jellyfish
are over 95 percent water and do not have gills, a heart, blood
or a brain. Even though their organs are limited, they still
retain the sense of taste and smell. Jellyfish cannot see objects,
but can sense the difference between dark and light areas. The
body of the jellyfish is called the bell, in reference to its
shape. Many jellyfish also have stinging tentacles which can
span over 100 feet in length. These tentacles are used to sting
and capture prey. Jellyfish feed mainly on small animals called
zooplankton. For more information on jellyfish visit the
