Movement Jellyfish have an easy way of moving around in the ocean. These creatures are dependent on the currents, tides and winds in the water. Jellyfish have little control over their side to side movement, but have more control over their up and down movement. During the daytime, jellyfish move down to the bottom of the ocean because they are sensitive to light. Jellyfish need water to survive. | Body Structure and Appearance Jellyfish can appear to be multicolored or show some magnificent colors such as white, pink, yellow, orange, red, blue or green. Some jellyfish can also be nearly transparent or see through. These creatures lack a skeletal structure and can appear as a jelly-like, shapeless blob. Jellyfish are made up of a gelatinous substance, which is 95% water. This creature is also made up of 3 layers: the outer epidermis, inner gastrodermis and the middle mesoglea. There are fringe-like protrusions that are attached to the outside of its bell-shaped body which are called tentacles. These tentacles are filled with toxins and possess hair-like structures, these can sense the presence of prey. | Habitat These amazing creatures are found in oceans across the planet from the coldest freezing waters of the Arctic Oceans, to the warm waters of the tropical oceans. Jellyfish survive in different marine water conditions, cold and warm water and shallow coastlines or deep sea water. They are found in the bright blue oceans all across the United States and in Europe. |
