Did you know that lion's mane jellies are actually amazing moms? They protect their tiny kids, no bigger than poppy seeds, in specialized pockets under their bell. The young are free to leave, but mom lets they stay until they're ready.

These lentil-sized jellies are some of the stickiest critters in town. They have specialized adhesive discs on their tentacles. When stuck on the side of aquarium glass, they look like a spray of tiny stars.

There are living islands in the open ocean, made of animals that live only at the surface. They are rare-seen, absolutely stunning, and now in danger. Why does the terrify me? Animals like this will be helpless against it.
