What is a Jellyfish?
Jellyfish are classified as Cnidarians. Their bodies are 95% water meaning they blend in with their surroundings easily. The body is divided into three main parts. These include the umbrella, the oral arms, and the stinging tentacles. Jellyfish stings can be very dangerous, considering dead jellyfish can maintain active tentacles. They can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
