2. What is a jellyfish?
• The first name for a jellyfish
was Medusa.
• In 1796, people started calling
them Jellyfish because they
look like they're made of jelly.
• Don't get confused! Jellyfish
aren't really fish. They are
plankton.
• People who study jellyfish
sometimes call them jellies.
Some jellies make their own light
the same way fireflies do.
