Day 3 of Work and Blogging


I'm going to give you a small history of jellyfish in this post so you can know more about jellyfish. Jellyfish lived in the oceans for more than a million years. They live everywhere in each sea there are different jellyfish types some extremely dangerous and some not dangerous at all. The jellyfish that wash up onto the shores of Dammam or Khobar beaches aren't much of a danger. They would only sting.Jellfish come in colors that are attractive like pale blue, pink, dark purple, yellow, bright orange, brown, or even white. They can be tiny or larger than 3 humans. Jellyfish reproduce in a different way. They naturally have the baby eggs in them which later grow. Sometimes jellyfish get washed up to shore and thats where they lay their eggs. It's kind of different than other animals. When the jellyfish grow up, they are always hungry. They eat shrimp and plankton. Some of the food they eat are even so small you can't see them. They either catch their prey with their sticky tentacles or wait for their pray to just swim in and they catch them and eat them. When it moves it uses this nerve in it's body that is sensitive to light, so when it sees light, the nerve reacts which causes the jellyfish to move upwards with it's muscles. Jellyfish stings are really powerful. They can kill a person in less than three minutes. Jellyfish breath through there skin because there skin is so thin that the oxygen particles move through it. http://danenet.wicip.org/mmsd-it/jellyfish.html
