Speaking of jellyfish , the first thing that comes to mind is the dreamy and gorgeous colors and soft body. Indeed, jellyfish are very beautiful creatures, but they are also very dangerous. There are many types of jellyfish, and the most rare one is the "Arctic Xia Jellyfish". It lives in the deep sea and is the largest jellyfish in the world. It is very toxic, but it is also very beautiful.
Arctic jellyfish
Arctic jellyfish is a low-level coelenteric animal. Everyone knows that most of the body of jellyfish is water, and the same is true for Arctic jellyfish. It is composed of two germ layers inside and outside. There is a very thick layer of medium glue between the two layers, which is not only transparent, but also has a floating effect. When they move, they use the water spray inside their bodies to reflect and look forward from a distance, it looks like a round umbrella quickly drifting in the water, but it is very beautiful.

umbrella-shaped body diameter of ordinary jellyfish is not very large only 20~30 cm long, but Arctic jellyfish umbrella-shaped diameter can reach 2 meters, and the drooping tentacles are as long as 20~30 meters.
1865, on the coast of Massachusetts, USA, an Arctic jellyfish washed up to the shore by the waves. Its umbrella part has a diameter of 2.28 meters and its tentacles are 36 meters long. Pull the tentacles of this jellyfish away, and it is 74 meters long from the tip of one tentacle to the tip of another tentacle. Therefore, it can be said that the Arctic Jellyfish is the longest animal in the world.
There are eight sets of tentacles under the umbrella cover, each with about one hundred and fifty. Each tentacle extends for more than 40 meters and can shrink to only one-tenth of its original length in one second.
Arctic jellyfish is poisonous
Although it is not as powerful as the world's most toxic jellyfish "Men's Hat Jellyfish", Arctic jellyfish should not be underestimated. Its tentacles have sting cells on its tentacles, which can release sting silk radiation toxins. When all tentacles stretch out, it is like laying a net of heaven and earth. The mesh cover area can reach 500 square meters, and it is also known as the "tenactile monster". It's extremely terrifying.
Arctic Xia jellyfish's partner
It is called Xiaomuyu, and its body is only 7 cm long. It can swim between the tentacles of jellyfish at will, but it is not afraid at all. When a big fish swims, the little mute fish swims in the middle of the tentacles under the giant umbrella, using it as a safe "sanctuary", using the jellyfish's cell-sting device to cleverly avoid the enemy's attack. Sometimes, the little maid can even lure the big fish into the hunting range of jellyfish to kill them, so that they can also eat the leftover fragments of jellyfish.
Why does Arctic Xia jellyfish not harm Xiaomuyu? Because Xiaomuyu is smart and can easily avoid the attack of jellyfish, but occasionally people will die accidentally under the poisonous silk. The two of them are mutually beneficial cooperation. The Arctic Xia jellyfish protects Xiaomuyu, and Xiaomuyu helps to lure other creatures.
The natural enemy of Arctic Jellyfish
No matter how powerful things are, there will be natural enemies. Arctic Jellyfish is no exception. They are leatherback turtles. The body length of the leatherback turtle is up to 3 meters, and the turtle shell is more than 2 meters long, and its defense ability is extremely strong. They can easily pull off the Arctic Jellyfish with their mouths, so that they can only roll up and down, and finally lose their ability to resist. "food" called leatherback turtle.
The ocean is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. We have only explored a little bit of the ocean, and there are still many unknown creatures waiting for us to discover. Reverence of nature is what we should do.
