Animal Project - Jellyfish (Megan's example)

Despite their name, jellyfish are not fish - they are invertebrates (animals with no backbones). They have stinging cells in their tentacles, which paralyse their prey before eating them.  Jellyfish live in oceans and float in the water. The size of jellyfish can range from 2 centimetres to 7 feet. Jellyfish are 98% water. They eat other sea animals and algae. Types of jellyfish include Box Jellyfish, Deep-Sea Jellyfish, Irukandji Jellyfish, and Moon  Jellyfish. A group of jellyfish is called a smack.

Jellyfish have no bones, brain, or heart.  Their body is controlled by a nervous system.
