4. Made Mostly of Water: Jellyfish bodies contain nearly 95% water, making them delicate, translucent, and vulnerable outside their natural ocean habitats. (Image: Canva)
5. Can Clone Themselves: When cut in half, some jellyfish can regenerate into two complete organisms, effectively cloning themselves through cellular regeneration. (Image: Canva)

8. Influence Ocean Ecosystem: Jellyfish blooms can shape marine food chains, sometimes disrupting fisheries and oxygen levels by consuming large quantities of plankton. (Image: Canva)
9. Can Shrink When Starved: When food is scarce, jellyfish reduce their size yet retain energy, resuming growth once conditions are improved. This is an amazing survival trait. (Image: Canva)
