1)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 no brains. They are made almost entirely of water, which is why you can look through 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 attract animals they like to eat.

rocks, and must be separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold.

earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have developed modern process for removing gold
