Jellyfish at Burgers' Zoo (04/03/2026)

In this video, a Pacific sea nettle jellyfish floats peacefully against a dark background in the aquarium at Burgers' Zoo. The jellyfish's translucent, bell-shaped body gently pulses, while its long, delicate tentacles and ruffled oral arms trail gracefully behind it. The contrast between the golden-hued jellyfish and the dark water creates a mesmerizing, ethereal scene. Did you know? Pacific Sea Nettles can have tentacles that grow up to 4.5 meters long! They use these stinging tentacles to paralyze small fish and zooplankton. Despite their lack of a brain, heart, or bones, jellyfish have been around for over 500 million years, making them older than dinosaurs. Their movements are primarily controlled by the ocean's currents, though they can use their bell to pulse and move vertically in the water.
