Mom, Where Do Baby Jellyfish Come From?

Mom, Where Do Baby Jellyfish Come From?

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
When grown-up jellyfish love each other very much, they make huge numbers of teeny-tiny potato-shaped larvae. Those larvae grow into little polyps that cling to rocks and catch prey with their stinging tentacles. But their best trick is when they clone themselves by morphing into a stack of squirming jellyfish pancakes. The lifestyle of the sea jelly is so successful that these guys have been around for millions of years! Also, you forgot to mention that jellyfish polyps duplicate the same way coral polyps do! This makes sense considering the fact the two are also related.

Even cloning upon cloning, only the smallest percentage will survive to adulthood. So to deal with predators either consistently be in large groups or good at dodgingnthe ambushes. Man I would think with all those tentacles, they'll just bounce on their adversaries and jump like a jumping jellyfish.

I was in St. John snorkeling a couple years ago and I didn't realize it was a Jellyfish bloom. (The adults were mostly at or near the surface) and when I noticed finally, I freaked out and noped my way out of the water and back onto the boat.

Ok, I had NO idea that jellyfish reproduced like that. I've never heard of animals making babies that multiplied themselves. That is so cool and almost unbelievable! The photography in this video is beautiful! I love you deep look

For the last time Jimmy, give me the remote! No? Okay, I didn't wanna say this but. you're a clone! Yes, you! And ever since you were a kid you've been. pancaked! That's right, you better leave. Here, let me help push you away!

When I was young, whenever I read about Jellyfish reproduction in my Encyclopedia, I was always perplexed on how does it work, it's so strange and fascinating.
Thank you for the video on showing how it all works!

Jellies seem so alien, especially with their reproductive tendencies (and even the ones that return to polyp after some time spent in adulthood, they're one of the coolest and most interesting sea creatures imo

Such a wild life cycle. I've jokingly wondered what it'd be like for vertebrates and mammals to divide instead.
Now imagine if we used budding instead?
(Less painful than childbirth)

sooo what are the actual numbers like? how many young could one mama jelly spawn? how many clones can a polyp make? how many ephyra per polyp? and why does this sound crazily exponential?
reply

I did a speech about Turitopsis Dohrnii before it's a college assignment, it's an informative speech and I pick that as my topic, I had fun, I got 84/100

Good thing human chilluns don't clone themselves (then clone themselves again )
Might give the name kindergarten a new relevance if they did

That factoid about how the adult sea jelly gets its name? I had no idea that s why they were called that. That is admittedly pretty cool.
reply

I WANT TO BE COVERED IN MOON JELLYFISH! 'er what I meant to say was- this was super fascinating! I learned something new todaaay!
reply

Oh soo that's how jellyfish are born, because i always think that jellyfish are like flatworms, just split and you got another one.
reply

reply

Wow. That s really awesome. This was a great video! It was amazing to see how Jellyfish develop in such massive numbers!
reply

Always love a new deep look video! Keep up the amazing content! And I love how a jellyfish was named Medusa. That s awesome

I've seen illustrations of this for years, but never saw a video of it until now. I am so very happy to have finally seen it.
