The video explores the fascinating world of moon jellyfish, highlighting their translucent, saucer-shaped bodies and trailing tentacles. These creatures are closely related to coral and sea anemones and thrive in warm coastal waters. Moon jellyfish swim near the surface to catch food with their stinging tentacles. They are mostly water, making them easy prey for sea turtles and other predators. Their specialized nervous system allows them to detect environmental changes. Having existed for over 500 million years, jellyfish continue to inspire scientific research and technological advancements.
