Ooh! You're pretty!
Who are you?
I'm a jellyfish.
We are invertebrate animals.
That means we have no backbone.
Where do you live?
We live in oceans all over the world.
We like both deep and shallow water.
What do jellyfish eat?
We eat fish, plankton, crabs, and shrimp.
We use our tentacles to capture prey.
Your tentacles are cool!
Our tentacles have venom.
We use it to sting our enemies!
Yikes! Who are your enemies?
Sea turtles like to eat us.
Humans can harm us too.
They use us for medicine.
Do you ever sting humans?
Some jellyfish do sting people.
And their sting can be dangerous.
But most jellyfish leave people alone.
Do jellyfish swim well?
No. We mostly float in the ocean.
But we can move on our own.
Watch this!
Here comes a wave.
Watch me float away!
Good-bye, Jellyfish!
