How do jellyfish capture their prey?
- ๐๏ธ 7
Jellyfish capture their prey using tentacles lined with specialised cells called cnidocytes. These cells contain tiny harpoons that inject venom into their target, paralysing it. The tentacles then move the immobilised prey to the jellyfish’s mouth. Jellyfish feed on plankton, small fish, and other marine organisms, relying on their stinging tentacles to secure food in their aquatic environment.
