Reading Aloud 12 Jelly Bodies You are a jellyfish. You have no brain, heart, blood or bones. Your body is made of water, muscles and nerves. You use your eyespots and nerve network to sense up and down, light and dark, and the world around you.
The main part of your body is your bell. Tentacles hang from around your edges like fringe. A mouth and digestive sac hang in the center. Getting Around As a jellyfish, you spend most of your time drifting on ocean currents. You can also move when you want to. First you let your bell fill with water. Then you squeeze the muscles in your bell the way a person blows a bubble with bubble gum. As you force water out of your bell, you shoot forward. A Hunter Like other jellyfishes, you like to eat fishes, crabs, shrimps and tiny marine animals. The key to successful hunting is the stinging cells in your tentacles. You catch prey as it floats through the water.
Conclusion
People enjoy looking at jellyfish at zoos or aquariums. Watching you gently float through water is fun and relaxing.
