Thousands of captivating jellies will entrance guests at the Vancouver Aquarium during Jelly invasion.
With over 15 species of jellies from around the globe, every corner of the Aquarium will showcase a different species.
The beauty and tranquility of jellies will captivate anyone who walks through our door during Jelly Invasion, says Dr. John Nightingale, president and CEO of the Vancouver Aquarium. They are perhaps some of the most mesmerizing creatures to watch as the number of hits to our jelly cam can attest but they are also just plainly fascinating.
For instance, despite their delicate appearance, jellies poop out of their mouths.
They are also some of the most dangerous animals in the world. Some box jellyfishes can cause cardiac arrests in humans within minutes of being stung.
Highlights include jellies such as the lions mane a jellyfish whose tentacles can grow to 60m long (the length of five transit buses parked end to end).
