For the second fun fish fact Friday, I thought I would dive into information about a fish that is not actually a fish.
More specifically, the jellyfish!
They don’t even look like fish!
-There are over 200 species of jellyfish.
- Jellyfish go through three stages of life, where they transform from one form to another (like a pokemon!). There is a type of Jellyfish that reverts back to its first form after the last, meaning it doesn’t die of old age! The Immortal Jellyfish!
Hi! I can live forever!
-The most poisonous types of jellyfish are: Sea Nettle, Portuguese Man o’War, Irukandji Jellyfish and the Box Jellyfish!
- Lion’s Mane Jellyfish are huge and hard to miss (their bell can reach up to 8ft or MORE)
- The Irukandji Jellyfish is only 5mm with tentacles less than 3ft! It is the smallest members of the Box jellyfish family and is actually really venomous!
Tiny but deadly!
- There are jellyfish that look like fried eggs for some reason.
Not actually a fried egg. Actually a jellyfish.
