5 Interesting Facts About Jellyfish!

  • Jellyfish have no brain, no heart, no bones and no blood - they're 95% water, yet they manage to hunt, reproduce and have survived for over 500 million years, outlasting countless more complex creatures.
  • The immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) can revert to its juvenile polyp state after reaching adulthood, then grow up again - theoretically repeating this cycle indefinitely, making it biologically immortal.
  • A group of jellyfish is called a bloom or a smack - and some blooms contain millions of individuals, stretching for kilometres and clogging the cooling intakes of nuclear power stations.
  • The lion's mane jellyfish is the largest animal invertebrate ever recorded - its bell can reach 2.4 metres across and its tentacles can trail over 36 metres, longer than a blue whale.
  • Jellyfish tentacles can still sting after the animal has died - beached jellyfish retain their stinging cells for hours, which is why you should never touch one on the beach.
