Jellyfish
Found in every ocean, jellyfish are not technically "fish." Jellies have an umbrella like structure that allows them to float beautifully in the water. Watch out though, some of them sting!

Can a box of Kleenex kill you if you were going 55 mph?
Yes, of couse yes.... That's one of the question of the drug and alcohol test for DMV, and that's the response.
What countries are there box jellyfish?
Although the notoriously dangerous species of box jellyfish are largely restricted to the tropical Indo-Pacific, various species of box jellyfish can be found widely in tropical and subtropical oceans, including the Atlantic and east Pacific, with species as far north as California, the Mediterranean and Japan and as far south as South Africa and New Zealand.
What is the only animal not affected by the box jellyfish sting?
The sea turtle is one of the only animals that is not affected by the box jellyfish sting.
Stinging cells in yhe tentacles or cndarians for capturing prey?
All Cnidarians have tentacles with stinging cells in their tips which are used to capture and subdue prey.
Are jellyfish cold blooded or warm blooded?
jellyfish have no blood and exist at the temperature of their surroundings, as do cold blooded organisms
How do jellyfish defy evolution?
I actually believe that jellyfish confirm instead of defy evolution.
While many details of the phylogeny of Cnidarians (sea anemones, corals, hydras and jellyfish) have yet to reach scientific consensus, the overall structure of the evolutionary tree has recently started to come into focus with the help of molecular analysis. The large and diverse phylum Cnidaria diverged from the Bilateria phylum about 600 million years ago. It is currently undecided whether the diploblastic (two-layered) condition of cnidarians results from a secondary simplification of a triploblastic ancestor of bilaterians, or from a diploblastic common ancestor, since cnidarians possess most of the genes that are implicated in mesoderm (middle layer) development in bilaterians. The expression of these genes in modern cnidarians does not confirm the simplification hypothesis, however, since bilaterians may well have co-opted their function after divergence. Future molecular studies will likely resolve this issue.
Early in its evolutionary history, the Cnidaria phylum split into two major lineages: the class Anthozoa (anemones and corals), and the superclass Medusozoa. Medusozoans encompass three classes, Hydrozoa (hydras and hydromedusae), Scyphozoa (true jellyfishes), and Cubozoa (box jellies). Most medusozoans generally alternate between an asexual polyp phase and a sexually reproducing medusa (jellyfish) phase. Certain lineages subsequently lost their medusa phase, such as freshwater hydras.
I would link to the relevant scientific papers supporting my view, but links are not permitted here. However, it is certainly clear that evolution is not defied by cnidarian phylogeny.
What eats Blue Blubber Jellyfish?
starfish, whale shark, and sea turtles i know because im doing a project on this
No, a jellyfish is a cnidarian.
No, true jelly fish are cnidarians. However, the jelly grade may include species from the phylum mollusca.
No, jellyfish are not mollusks. They are cnidarians.
Are atmosphere jellyfish real?
There possed to be a cryptid that fly in the air they could exist I think they do
Actually they are a recently discovered electrical phenomena known as red sprites.
Small fish that they paralyze with neurotoxins from nematocysts (stinging cells) in their tentacles.
Jellies are carnivorous, feeding on plankton, crustaceans, fish eggs, small fish and other jellyfish.Jellyfish are carnivores That is they eat meat mostly in the form of zoo-plankton smaller fish and jellyfish shrimp and what ever sea animal they can cope with keeping their size in mind. Jellyfish eat alot of diffrent foods, they mostly eat little fish by sitting upside down and looking like a sea anemone then the fish swim into it thinking its a new home but get eaten by the Jellyfish
Garibaldis will happily eat black sea nettles, as do tuna, and possibly sea turtles.
In what era did jellyfish evolve?
Jellyfish and other multi-cellullar organisms evolved during the Cambrian era.
What does the inside of a jellyfish look like?
Jelly fish are transparent so you can see their insides.
Actually there isn't much to see. There is a little pinkish organ that looks like a flower bud. There are four or five radiate tree like branches. I don't know what any of these are.
