Jellyfish babies in London zoo


This is a video of Phyllorhiza punctata jellyfish, recorded at Sai Kung, Hong Kong.

From London Zoo in England:

Baby jellyfish that commuted to ZSL London Zoo on a train from “up north” have settled perfectly into their new home.

The tropical, white-spotted jellyfish (Phyllorhiza punctata), native to the southwestern Pacific, have moved into a special tank in BUGS after arriving from The Deep in Yorkshire.

ZSL London Zoo and The Deep are the only places to house the alien-like jellyfish, and ZSL hopes to breed these as part of a new jellyfish husbandry group set up between UK collections.

The jellyfish get their name because their rounded, bell-shaped, body is covered in white dots. …

The jellyfish could grow to over 20cm in diameter, but are currently around 6cm, so come and see them while they are still jelly babies.
