你是海绵宝宝的粉丝吗?在漫画中,水母能产生美味的果冻。那么水母是果冻做的吗?当然不是。事实上,水母不能产生果冻。水母是一种简单的海洋生物。它们在海洋中生活了至少5亿年。有些水母生活在寒冷的深海中。一些水母喜欢生活在浅浅的和温暖的水域中。
Jellyfish have soft and colorful bodies. Their bodies are made of more than 90 percent water. Jellyfish also have several tentacles(触须). They look interesting. However, you should not touch them because they are very dangerous. Jellyfish can sting(刺) with their tentacles. They use them to hunt small fish. Jellyfish usually don’t hurt humans. Most jellyfish stings happen when someone touches their small jellyfish. Even a dead jellyfish can sting! In the cartoon, SpongeBob can have tasty jelly by squeezing a jellyfish. But in real life, you should never touch a jellyfish!
