Chesapeake Bay Critters
Floater of the Sea
- I am also called a Medusa.
- 98% of me is made up of water.
- I swim by opening my umbrella shaped body, then closing it quickly.
- My tentacles have poison in them, but it doesn't always hurt humans
- I have a layer of jelly which allows me to float.
- My tentacles can get up to 100 feet along.
- I inject poison into my victims, and then bring them up to my mouth.
- Though fish is my last name, I have no relation to them.
- I sometimes live in groups, and I sometimes live alone.
- I live in the deep oceans all over the world.
