Jellyfish

Jellyfish are mysterious and captivating marine creatures, famous for their translucent bodies and delicate, flowing tentacles. Despite their lack of a brain, heart, or bones, they have survived for millions of years. Jellyfish come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from tiny, almost invisible species to the giant lion's mane jellyfish with tentacles extending over 100 feet.

In the zoo’s aquarium, jellyfish float gracefully in circular tanks designed to mimic ocean currents, preventing them from getting stuck in corners. Behind the scenes, zookeepers carefully maintain water quality, regulating salinity, temperature, and pH to suit each species. Their diet consists of tiny shrimp and plankton, fed multiple times a day. Visitors are often fascinated to learn about their life cycle, which includes stages as both a free-floating medusa and a stationary polyp. The jellyfish exhibit’s glowing lights highlight their ethereal beauty, making it a popular attraction.
