Compass Jellyfish

Yes they are so beautiful ❤

Although cuttlefish and Octopus have that ability, I don't think these jellyfish do. The flickering is from the refracted light through the choppy surface waves - it does look very cool though :-)

I'm here because I saw one in the sea in Ireland today!

Yeah just saw one today at rush beach Scared the shit puts me

I saw one at the yesterday in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@British1645 same, so many people screamed at it

@@Haha-pc9tz same, only on here because I saw one today. Took me years to get back into the sea because of my fear of jellyfish and the one time I finally got back in today and there was a compass a few feet away from me. Genuinely nearly vomited and by the time I got back out my whole body was shaking 🙈 not sure if I can brave going back in again which is such a shame cause I adore swimming in the sea

But it hurts very hard when they sting, they are DANGEROUS😐.

@@TiatrgovcicWe are far more dangerous to them.

I sometimes think nothing, but they are a pretty key part of the marine ecosystem. One example is that they are common prey for sea turtles.

Sea nettles, lion’s mane jellies, and egg yolk jellies, among others, love to feed on moon and comb jellies. If moon and comb jelly populations exploded, they could rapidly decrease the population of certain types of fish. They could even cause them to become extinct. So, most big or painful jellies’ jobs are to keep the populations of other jellies in check, with a few exceptions. One big exception is box jellies. They feed on fish. Others, like barrel jellies and lagoon jellies, feed on plankton or photosynthetic algae. Jellies in general don’t have much of a purpose beyond that because they were here hundreds of millions of years before fish and other marine creatures. Most animals adapted to live with them since they were already there. Hope that clears it up.

Que música é essa

I guess they’d take a lot of plankton out of the water and keep their population in check. They also provide homes for baby fish, who hang with them until they can fend for themselves.

Certain species bloom in huge numbers to the point that they serve as a sort of buoyant forest habitat for other marine life. Fish, crustaceans, and mollusks are known to have taken shelter in jellyfish colonies, and even use the jellyfish as food. I don't know if these species are affected by the jellyfishes' stinging cells, but it would seem that they either have an immunity or just know how to avoid them. Unfortunately, large jellyfish blooms are a sign that a marine ecosystem is in bad health. While jellyfish can wipe out fish stocks, a bigger reason is that jellyfish thrive in oxygen-deprived environments where fish can't survive. This usually happens as a response to polluted waters.

Whats the sting like?

@@DarkLord-we2uw it feels like bad nettles .i was stung 3 times at once by the same jellyfish. The water was full of them lol

This is the time 0:41

0:38 why look like that?

Idk

oww the comppas jellyfish don't want sting human

Bruh

Ttc i

These ones don't sting too bad, unless you get zapped on the lip!

May as well have nettles on your plate in that case

@@PLK123 You have to cook jellyfish properly first like the Chinese do

They are dying in unprecedented numbers. There are far too many of us.
