Ctenophora - Comb Jellies
There are over 100 species of comb jelly, and most are transparent planktonic predators. They swim feebly by beating rows of plates made from fused hair-like cilia (the 'combs') and catch their prey with dangling tentacles.
•The tentacles usually have 'colloblasts' on them which help the tentacles stick to the animals they touch. (Colloblasts are single cells that give off a gluey substance when touched.)
•One type of comb jelly feeds on true jellyfish and is able to use the stinging cells (cnidocytes) on its tentacles, in much the same way as some of the sea slugs.

What animals have combs?
Combs are found in various animal species, most notably in birds, such as chickens and roosters, where they serve as a secondary sexual characteristic and help with temperature regulation. Certain reptiles, like the comb jelly (a type of marine invertebrate), also exhibit comb-like structures used for locomotion. Additionally, some species of fish, such as the comb grouper, have comb-like fin structures. These adaptations serve different purposes across species, including display, mobility, and thermoregulation.
