These jellies are making a splash. Cannonball jellies are fast swimmers—and a main source of food for endangered leatherback turtles. They're also valued for as a health food item, for their calcium. Cannonball jellies are found along the eastern seaboard to Brazil.

The cannonball jellyfish gets its name from the rounded appearance that it has which makes it look like a cannonball. They are commonly washing up on shores in some places, I have actually seen this jelly washed ashore a few times. #500subscribers #jellyfish #oceans #scuba #ocean #science #educational #biology Video sources: https://youtu.be/WpqPphTZmkM https://youtu.be/FpLTbC7hyGw
