The Jellyfish

Jellyfish have a central body with a digestive system and tentacles armed with stinging cells. Jellyfish are very mobile. They swim slowly and are moved by the ocean currents. They are transparent because their bodies contain very little matter. Most of their bodies are made up of water. Large jellyfish can be more than 6 feet wide.
