Strange ocean jellyfish breeding in the aquarium

Scientists at the Basel Zoo in Switzerland have announced the success of pressing a rare and precious jellyfish that looks like a breeding egg in an artificial environment.

The strange jellyfish with the scientific name is Medusa . They are found to grow naturally in the Mediterranean Sea.

According to scientists, jellyfish Medusa need a lot of sunlight to survive. They lay eggs and fertilize eggs in seawater. These eggs then develop into tiny larvae that attach to the undersea creatures.

When fully grown, the diameter of the stem of the " fried egg " can reach up to 35cm. And in contrast to most other jellyfish, Medusa moves on its own by moving rhythmically " the white part of the egg ".

The Daily Mail reported that experts at the Basel Zoo have found a way to mimic Medusa's natural growth conditions and created a new rare " fried egg " jellyfish.

A zoo worker said: " To make Medusa reproduce is really a challenge because they are only found off the distant ocean, where the fish and transport industry is extremely difficult. So, they I have to simulate the natural environment with special lights to illuminate the aquarium and make sure there are lots of meals for Medusa jellyfish every day.

The jellyfish are very small, only a few centimeters but they have an egg shape. At first, we had to keep them away from the lights in case they were cooked . "
