They aren't necessarily stingless. There stingers are just to weak to puncture the skin. Except you might be able to feel a little sting on more sensitive areas of your body, such as the mouth or nose. But even so they arent really very toxic, atleast nothing that can really effect us.
Jellyfish don't have any jelly inside them but even if they did it would be really cruel to the jellyfish. I mean, how would you like to have your insides squeezed ou and spread inside a sandwich? No? Didn't think so.
Brings back fond memories. Did 2week dive trip to Yap and Palau 2 yrs ago. Almost passed on Jellyfish Lake because it sounded so lame. This has to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen/experienced. I didn't want to leave.
ok, for all you guys who DON'T GET WHY PALAU'S JELLYFISH ARE SPECIAL: they lost their stinging abilities because they don't have a need for them. They were isolated in a salt/fresh water lake hundreds of years ago and feed on plankton that photosynthesizes inside them.
Hmm.. Surely mastigias and moon jellies dont have stings outside the lake either? the moon ones arrive in swarms on beaches here in england in summer, and people jus chuck them around - they're the sticky type, not the stinging type.
these jellyfish ARE mastigias, and though i've never heard of any outside of the lake, if it were the case they probably would have to still have stingers because of predators. the reason they lost their stinging cells is because the lake had no natural predators except sea anenome (which wasn't a huge threat) and the moon jellyfish does sting, but when they wash up on the beach their tentavles have likely been ripped off by waves and sand, also their stingers are really small.
No, what I was trying to say is that I'm sure they still do have stingers, they just aren't strong enough to penetrate anything. loosing stinging cells completely is a big step in evolutionary terms, and It's hard to comprehend that these Jelly fish could have just "given up" stinging over a couple of hundred years. Please though, correct me if I'm wrong - I have no wish to be bigoted :)
well, you're right. the point is their stinging cells have become so minute that they're pretty much dismissable and can't really be used for anything any more.
there not bad the only annoying part is when it hurts though my brother got on stuck on his leg he had a big one!!but there still cool when i see one i just get a stick and move them a little farther away
It scared the crap out of me when I saw the first video (panning down from a normal lake, then...100,000 jellyfish!) But knowing the story about how they became landlocked and got rid of their 'stingers,' that is just damn cool. I'd swim with them any time (my luck, they get really annoyed and re-evolve them stingers!)
Beautiful! I wish I could go there sometime. Jellyfish are so beautiful and graceful! I wouldn't normally go that close to them though because of the stingers, but they're still amazing to watch!
ooooooooh i almost had a panic attack when the camera hit the jellyfish and then the girl SWAM IN THEM!!! :O I can't even stand seaweed touching me when i swim!!!
lol jelly fish dont have eyes nose and all that, they dont have stingers because the lake was connected to the oceana nd it got blocked off so there was no threat for the jelly fish and all that kind of stuff so..they dont have stingers (no threat)BAM! lol me smurt
Ask the Mountains by Vangelis would have been a much better song for this. I actually muted the video and played it along with it instead. Very relaxing.
actually, they do have stingers AND they used to be connected to the ocean, but while they were in the lake the path to the ocean broke off and they've been breeding there ever since. Music was horrible and got on my nerbes though, even though it probably suited the video.
since theres no food 4 them there they live by fotosymthasis and lost their ability to sting! you can touch them and their broken stingers! even squese them and make em explode
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!!!! Pass this around on three different videos and you will become famous in just a week!!! THIS IS NOT A LIE!!!! How do you think Paris became a famous singer all of a sudden? Because she did this. So if you pass this around three times in different videos, you will become famous in just a week. HINT this is no ordinary chain letter, this is for real!!! DO IT!!!
