A jellyfish drifting in deep water

The jellyfish moves through the open underwater setting with its bell-shaped body above a group of long tentacles. Water supports its soft form as it floats in the ocean. The scene centers on the animal's distinctive shape and the trailing tentacles that follow its movement.

How jellyfish travel through the ocean

A jellyfish can contract its bell to push water behind it, creating a gentle pulsing motion. Even so, currents carry many jellyfish over much greater distances than they can travel by swimming alone. Their bodies contain a large amount of water and do not have bones, a heart, or a brain like those of vertebrate animals.

Real-world colors of a jellyfish in the ocean

  • Jellyfish bell: often clear or translucent, sometimes with pink, blue, purple, yellow, or milky tones
  • Bell markings: may be pale, dark, spotted, striped, or absent, depending on the species
  • Tentacles: frequently transparent or pale, though some are pink, reddish, blue, or brown
  • Oral arms: can be white, cream, pink, purple, or similar in color to the bell
  • Deep ocean water: usually appears dark blue as sunlight becomes weaker with depth
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

How does a jellyfish catch food?
Its tentacles contain specialized stinging cells that can capture small animals. The food is then moved toward the mouth by the tentacles or oral arms.
Can every jellyfish sting people dangerously?
Many species have stings that are mild or difficult for people to feel, while some can cause serious harm. It is safest not to touch an unknown jellyfish, even if it has washed ashore.
Why are many jellyfish nearly transparent?
A transparent body can make an animal harder to see in open water. This offers useful camouflage where there are few solid objects to hide behind.
