Meeting basic needs as a
Jellyfish
Unlike most animals, jellyfish don’t exactly have a home. They
just swim, and swim, and swim. Its like a heartbeat. It will be slow or
fast but it doesn’t stop until they die.
Their enemy is air. When out of water they completely collapse.
See, look at the picture. The one right over there…
For food, they eat fish, shrimp, crabs, tiny plants(only on rare
occasions), and sometimes even other species of jellyfish!
One jellyfish egg can make thousands of jellyfish so it is not a
big deal at all when one dies. Also, they can survive
in polluted areas if the pollution level is low. Some
scientists think that the jellyfish population is actually
growing.
Food Source as Jellyfish
For food, they eat fish, shrimp, crabs, tiny plants(only on rare occasions), and
sometimes even other species of jellyfish! When prey enters their tentacles, there
are tiny barbs that pokes into the animals flesh; then they release venom into
the animals. It will stun or paralyze the prey. Then the jellyfish uses its oral arms
and removes the animal from its tentacles and shoves it in its mouth. Jellies don’t
chew and the animal is put right into the jellies stomach. They digest really fast
so the food doesn’t slow them down very much.
Jellyfish eat fish and other sea creatures that are small because
their bodies are built to survive without a lot of them. They get the
nutrients they need to survive by eating them. They find them
wherever they are swimming.

But not always.
Jellyfish live in this
ecosystem because there
food is here.
Out of water, a
jellyfish will
completely collapse.
They are
completely helpless
once out of water.
Jellyfish cannot breath air.
They have to be in water or
they will quickly die.
