 Even when detached from the jellyfish body, a tentacle can still sting.[([[https://animals.howstuffworks.com/marine-life/jellyfish.htm|howstuffworks]])]
+===== Creeping Jellyfish =====
+The creeping jellyfish is the tiniest jellyfish in existence. It contains bell disks with diameters ranging from 0.5 mm to a few millimeters.[([[https://math.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_smallest_jellyfish|answers]])]
+===== Irukandji =====
+The very deadly Australian Irukandji jellyfish, which is just the size of a fingernail, is another contender for the title of tiniest jellyfish.[([[https://www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/docs/QAS-Irukandji-jellyfish.pdf|ambulance]])]
+===== Largest Jellyfish =====
+The Nomura's jellyfish is the biggest jellyfish in the world. The Lion's mane jellyfish and the Stygiomedusa gigantea are further contenders for the title of biggest jellyfish.[([[https://a-z-animals.com/blog/the-worlds-9-largest-jellyfish/|a-z-animals]])]
+===== Very Rare Stygiomedusa Gigantea =====
+In the past 120 years, only around 100 times have the enormous jellyfish known as Stygiomedusa gigantea been observed.[([[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/colossal-crimson-jellyfish-spotted-by-monterrey-bay-scientists-off-california-coast-180979218/|smithsonianmag]])]
+===== Portuguese Man-Of-War =====
+Although the Portuguese man-of-war resembles a jellyfish, it is not one. It isn't even a single animal, really. It is a siphonophore, an animal made up of a group of coexisting creatures. The man-of-war is really made up of four different polyps. The top polyp is a gas-filled bladder that resembles the sails of the formerly popular man-of-war ship.[([[https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/portuguese-man-o-war.html|oceanservice]])]
+===== Reproduction =====
+Jellyfish can reproduce sexily or asexually. Although there have been hermaphroditic species discovered, they are typically either male or female.[([[https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/exhibits/jellies/reproduction_jellies|aquariumofpacific]])]
+===== Lifespan =====
+Jellyfish can survive for many hours or several months. One species is said to have a long lifespan. In aquariums, jellyfish often survive longer than they do in the wild. Due to their fragility, jellyfish are more easily caught while they are in the polyp stage, when they are the least susceptible.[([[https://www.aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/jellyfish-life-cycle|aquarium]])]
+===== Food =====
+Plankton, crustaceans, other jellyfish, fish eggs, and tiny fish are some of the foods they eat. Through the same hole in the center of the bell, they feed and urinate.[([[https://www.whoi.edu/know-your-ocean/ocean-topics/ocean-life/jellyfish-other-zooplankton/|whoi]])]
