Jellies - Shedd Aquarium
Get a fascinating glimpse of the wonders that lie beneath the ocean at the Shedd Aquarium's newest exhibition - Jellies. Enter the world of these beautiful, translucent specimens, and discover the unique adaptations that have allowed these mysterious creatures to thrive and survive on Earth for over 500 million years - without the benefit of blood, bones or brains.
Come face to face with the Lion's Mane Jelly, the world's largest known jelly species, which can grow up to 8 feet in diameter and sport tentacles up to 100 feet long. Discover the Umbrella Jelly, which averages between .1 and .125 inches at full maturity. Learn how the fragility and enormous diversity of jellies - whose bodies are 95% water - makes studying them especially challenging for scientists.
This exhibition runs through May 28, 2012 at the Shedd Aquarium. Prepare to be mesmerized!
