Phylum: Cnidaria
Trait: Jellyfish have a gelatinous, umbrella-shaped bell and long, trailing tentacles. They are equipped with stinging cells called cnidocytes, which they use to capture prey and defend themselves against predators. They have a simple nerve net that allows them to detect changes in their environment and control basic behaviors. Jellyfish are radially symmetrical and have a life cycle that includes both a medusa (adult) and a polyp (larval) stage.
