Jellyfish! Learn about Jellyfish by Kids Learning Videos

Jellyfish have existed for millions of years, predating dinosaurs. They inhabit oceans worldwide, thriving in both warm and cold waters. These invertebrates come in various colors and some can even glow. Jellyfish lack a spine, brain, eyes, and heart, but have a central mouth for feeding and waste expulsion. They move by riding ocean currents or squirting water from their mouths. Their tentacles contain stinging cells to capture prey. Jellyfish can be found in shallow and deep waters, often near shores. While they don't attack humans, accidental encounters can result in painful stings. Jellyfish are fascinating creatures with unique adaptations.
