The mysterious creatures' occupation of the US coast was a shock

According to the daily mail of August 21, a large number of creatures have been stranded on the coast of the United States. Biologists are puzzled because they don't know the living habits of these animals. In nature, they are very similar to jellyfish, which feed on their prey by stabbing them.

There are a large number of alien species on the coast and beach. Along the west coast from Southern California to British Columbia, billions of mysterious creatures are washed up on the beach. They are called "sailor with the wind". In fact, their scientific name is sailjellyfish. Each sail jellyfish is about 7-10CM, bright blue, and its main feature is to inflate and float on the surface of the water body, while the fin structure makes their travel direction completely depend on the wind direction and current. The number of sail jellyfish washed up on the south coast of North America is amazing. There are more than 1000 sail jellyfish per meter, an astronomical number.

Experts are puzzled by the lack of knowledge of the natural habits of this creature. This creature has a similar structure to jellyfish, and it can stab their prey, but it will not cause great pain to human beings. They feed mainly on phytoplankton, and millions of them drift around large fleets. Michael bull Ellis, a tour guide, wrote in the nature of the bay: Although sail jellyfish are very common in nature and distributed throughout the ocean, their details of life are unknown.

In the middle of the ocean, it will sprout and reproduce a small mother of water (a smaller version of the jellyfish structure), which will sink to more than 2000 meters below the sea to grow and develop, and produce sperm and eggs. The fertilization process is carried out in the dark deep sea. The small sail jellyfish begin to float. They secrete gas and slowly rise to the surface of the ocean. Here, they use specialized thorn cells to stab zooplankton and feed on them. Their emergence is believed to be related to the rise of water temperature in coastal waters.
