The article is about the north american comb jellyfish that can turn itself hydro dynamically"invisible". It eats vast quantities of zoo plankton and a few years ago was established in Europe. The jelly fish uses tiny cilia to pass water into its lobes. By doing this, the waters passes without being disturbed and the prey isn't alarmed until near the feeding are.
5 Sentence Opinion
I think this is really cool because we have been talking about the food chains and the different relationships between organisms in class. This is also cool because the jellyfish is able to silently sneak up on its prey. The jellyfish has a large body and its prey can sense the slightest amount of water displacement. This is cool because it has found out a way to catch its prey even though its big size and it is somewhat invisible. I like reading about these things because i am fascinated by the way animals can do things like this.
