Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike
fish or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.
Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems
for sensing the world around them, but not brains. They are made almost entirely
of water, which is why you can look though them.
Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made
by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for
several reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attack
animals they like to eat.
