Jellyfish turn dizzy when hitting the bubble circle

The bubble circle, which actually contained the air inside the whirlpool, touched the jellyfish and made the animal spin.

Victor Devalles saw a jellyfish swimming above while diving off Spain's Balearic Islands, Mirror on June 5 reported. He tried to create a bubble circle and let it float.

Jellyfish are often pushed away when encountering waves and strong currents.

"I want to shoot a video of the jellyfish swimming through the bubble, but it touches the animal again. Such bubble rings are the air inside the vortex. So, the jellyfish gets stuck and rotated very fast." , Devalues ​​explained. Fortunately, the jellyfish is not injured. It safely swims away, though perhaps very dizzy.

Jellyfish are often pushed away when encountering waves and strong currents. However, some studies have shown that they are indeed capable of very good orientation. In 2015, a team of experts from Swansea University discovered that jellyfish could recognize the direction of ocean currents and swim back.

"Detecting sea currents without a fixed observation point is considered nearly impossible. Scientists also do not see this possibility in many vertebrate migratory animals such as birds and turtles. The jellyfish are not passive. They have incredible ability to navigate the sea , " said Professor Graeme Hays, head of the study.
