You’re swimming in the ocean when something brushes your leg. When the tingling sets in, you realize you’ve been stung by a jellyfish. How do these beautiful gelatinous creatures pack such a painful punch? Neosha S Kashef details the science behind the sting.
Lesson by Neosha S Kashef, animation by Cinematic.
Does anyone just binge watch 20 of these in a row
yes
Yeah lol
me
Yes
I believe this is the only way
I swear every time I watch a video about the ocean I become more terrified every time
same
It's has to be the right waves to jump. If it it's constant small waves, it's jelly fish that come to tide
Me too it makes me wanna never go in the sea again

The animation is so cute!
All the animations by Ted Ed are too cute!
soo derpy looking :P
+Ro Al well kind of but it looks ok
I know! I love it! ❤
+Ro Al HEY
I've gotten stung before, it wasn't really a 'tingling ' as said in the video. I thought for a few seconds that there was a swarm of tiny sea creatures biting me. Don't put cold stuff onto a sting, it makes the pain way worse, having a hot vinegar towel to wrap around the sting area is the best thing ever. Bleach will make the stingers burrow farther in. Don't rub/scratch the sting area, it will cause it to become inflamed. And there will be a time where the sting itches like crazy.
I experienced the same exact thing☹️
1:04 here’s your daily dose of anxiety
I watched a movie that has that kind of jellyfish and my anxiety spiked like crazy

Before I went to Jamaica, I watched this and was like "nah, this wouldn't happen to me." Wouldn't you know I got stung on both arms.

mychemicaljulia your one lucky person man. Most Jamaicans never get stung by those things.
same, just chilling at Myrtle Beach when "oww my arm *3 seconds pass* HOLY CRAP IT BURNS WHY GOD WHY
XD caribbean life man
It’s amazing to think that such an advanced and complex defense mechanism can be made by almost entirely water.
And its 2 phylum 💀💀
3:33 wierdly satisfiying

I was just stung for the first time a few days ago when I went to Alabama's coast. It was probably a sea nettle by the looks. For those asking what it is like, it itches, hurts, and well stings. You also get a red rash.
I know bro those ones hurt
That was awesome. The ocean, arguably one of the most scariest parts of the world but also among the most beautiful
The animation for the nudibranch tearing off the jellyfish's tentacles was great.
Just like eating spaghetti :D

Lion's Mane is my favorite jelly fish
Even if it stings me to death via it's tentacles
I thought it was something on my screen at first
I see

i dont get the joke
Once, we (me and my family) were at a beach, and a sign said that the area had jellyfish, but a lifeguard nearby said it wasn't the season for them. I was overly cautious, and didn't go in, but everyone else did. When they came out, they were all covered in jellyfish stings. I was like "I told you so!"
The lifegaurd was probably bored and needed a laugh, who knows. Only you in this case!

Ironically enough, I actually came here from watching that scene. This was in my suggestions. XD

The “You’ve been stung by a jellyfish!” sounded far too optimistic for comfort...
YOU are far too optimistic for comfort
@@keeyandameen1688 What?
How it feels to be stung
Imagine 2,000 wasps stinging you over again on the same are while injecting hot water and hand sanitizer with lemon juice. Yah it's that bad
Yes, I can't imagine what it's like to be stung by a sea jelly but I know exactly what 2000 wasps stinging me would feel like.
its not that bad unless it is a deadly jellyfish
Yeah, I was stung when I was 6 & @ 37, I remember that pain like it was just yesterday😩🤦🏽♀️
doesnt sound very fun-
I think you mean 3000
Very well animated, and informative!
Agreed
I was swimming on a beach in Florida when a huge group of juvenile lions mane jellies were passing through. They were everywhere once you got just a dozen feet from the shore. They were there in huge numbers for a week, passing through. The bigger ones farther from shore. The juvenile lions mane don't have their nomatocytes until they reach a certain size, so I'd spend an hour wading along the shore while thousands of tiny jellies passed by me, brushing up against my legs. Terrifying and mesmerizing.
2:58 jellyfish: SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII * gets eaten *
Turtle: yum
I swear i watch TED ED every time about something i learn so much!! Who has a same thoughts like me??
why were these videos my childhood..?
0:44
2015: oh that's jellyfish
2020: uhh that's uhhhhhh
Honestly depends on how big the sting is. I got stung in Capri jumping into the water not seeing there was a bunch of softball sized pink jellies in there. Felt a sharp burn in the crook of my arm, and knew I needed to get out, and after, my arm was covered in hives...was not fun. The sting was more like a burn, and hurt so so bad. Be biggest spot is about the size of a golf ball, surrounded by little dits and lines of other stings. I think I swam into one or something and it got wrapped around my arm. Do not recommend this experience lol
I had one wrap around my arm as well. Also do not recommend lol.
@@mars3168Were you able to get it off your arm? When I got stung my bf's mom had to get it off me because I honestly couldn't move, and I was in shallow water where they're not supposed to be.
@trisha7976 Haha yeah, I pulled them all out, but I definitely don't blame you!! I was also in the shallows, but jellyfish are pretty rampant here sometimes.

Ok glad you enjoyed the video. Have a lovely day.
I love the fact the human sprite takes a huge breath before going into the water, even though
*it's wearing a snorkel*
XD
>w
I was snorkeling off the coast of Ni’ihau in Hawaii. Suddenly I felt a slight tingling sensation on my right hand, typically where I would balance a pencil. I surfaced and took a closer look. Little bumps formed a circle about the size of a penny or nickel. I realized that I’d been stung by a baby jellyfish! Most likely a baby because there weren’t any visible adults in the water. I did remain in the water for a bit longer after I noticed, because I’d watched this video prior!
Over the summer at gulf shores, half my family got stung and signs of dangerous marine life were only put up the day we left XD I saved 2 and it would have been three but a random lady asked for my net so i gave it to her but she just took it and dumped the jelly in the sand. After that obviously people all started noticing the large amount and the next day we found about 3 holes literally full of jellyfish who were captured and left to die. i could understand if they were really bad jellyfish but the jelly there were harmless and stung for about 10 minutes at most.
I am there right now and I got stung today at the beach
0:13 idk why but this is so wholesome🤣
Im a 9 year old but i remember watching ted ed
The face made by the cartoon character after he was stung was priceless!
this is funny, cause a day after i watched this video i got stung by a jellyfish. so legit
Why do you find a jellyfish sting funny D: you still git stung it isnt funny
Aldrick Espinosa it wasnt funny at the moment. It was horrible. But I enjoy joking about my pain.
I got stung before I watched it... unfortunately I didn't know not to use fresh water, so I made it worse for myself.
lol
I got sting pretty bad
The jelly fishes are soo cute!
They can kill u
+Mckenzie 628 I agree
+Mckenzie 628 yeah but that's a minor prob righhhht ?
I'm being sarcastic...
+Whitney lps Productions screw up
+ChilledInVienna really? I don't mind the dentist
The sea seems so alien.
water came from asteroids in space mate, aliens are from space... jellyfish are aliens
Trule but we came 300000000
Years ago from the ocean
We all are extraterrestrial, because the most of the milky way , our home galaxy, was come from otther galaxies... so yeah, we all are aliens :D
that one joey of water came from asteroids, then humans also came from asteroids.
I saw a sea nettle in the open ocean and stopped to go “wow..that’s freaking beautiful” then I backed up as fast as humanly possible
3:56
This guy has a snorkel and doesnt even go underwater. And the only time he goes, he takes a deep breath when he could be breathing with the snorkel
Ok
Fonha Flango you can’t go too deep before water rushes in the tube
Ya so silly
Harry Corn boi but he did it for like a second...
False. I watched SpongeBob. jellyfish are swimming, live, electrical outlets.
Is this a joke or-
sponge in is not realistic.. if you compare the real life of the water and animals with the bikini bottoms you will realize the sponge is fake
Gacha Story’s
the joke---->
you
Hope it’s a joke
Gacha Story’s it’s called a joke..
98% water. That's why in Brazil we call it água viva which translates to living water :D
Does viva mean water or living, i wanna know!
@@spycrab3723 viva is alive(living) and água means water (i'm brazilian ;w;)

Her voice motivates me to watch and hear videos.
For some reason my 4 year old loves this animated video and requests it every night.
Yeah i started watching when i was five
I got stung once
I've also carried jellies back to the ocean.
The sting wasn't as bad as people would expect. It was like a pimple honestly, and all that happened was cold chills and a small bit of swelling
"I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine" 😂
Yes exacwy 🥺
The baby jellyfishes are a nightmare, one time my siblings and I went swimming in the sea during vacation, we ended up with many baby jellyfish stings while swimming.
"Cnidaria" and "cnidocyte(s)" are maybe the only English words I know that start with a silent "C", and I love them for that, because they sound much cooler that way.
Ur voice is sooooo soothing I love it
This is useful! Thank you for letting me know this!!
I swear to god when I was little I used to think that jellyfish used electricity to sting things.
🌮
Aww
@@JacobLewis2006 taco? Why? Why the taco?
I have never seen a jellyfish in real life
i ate a jellyfish muhahhahhah
S.A alkhater It's way more common than what you think, I ate a jellyfish long before I even knew what a jellyfish was. (And I lived in the mountains when I ate the jellyfish... (Imported goods))
I've seen plenty of dead Jelly fish washed up on the shore before, never any living ones before though.
Agnes Powell i was meet much jellyfish in all sea italians and also all sea europe and north africa in some time ago, as we know 20 species of jellyfish in Mediterranean Sea. i do not joke this jellyfish.
types of jellyfish are beautiful and different colors. jellyfish are not dangerous but who touches jellyfish will be very painful.
***** No it's just that THE GULF OF MEXICO HAS SOME SHITTY WATER
OMG THE ANIMATION SO CUTE
2:35 yes i know he is a badass anti hero who even fought against venom and fought alongside the punisher
The bell jellyfish that are shown in the majority of the vid are so cute!
The cool thing about those jelly stingers is; much like mosquito probosci, they looks extremely jagged and rough up close, but actually cut through skin very easily and painlessly.
Scientists have been studying mosquito proboscis to make better and less painful needles, but mosquitoes don't actually *poke* you... they uhhm... _saw_ and _slowly hack_ their way into your flesh. Yeah. That's right. Instead of a nice smooth needle, they use a saw and hack their way through your skin and it actually hurts less!
You don't actually feel the mosquito "bite", you in fact feel the enzyme they inject into you to thin your blood so it flows easier into their gutsss....!
Haha
Critters be crazy!
People are saying "when I watch these kinds of video I become more afraid of the ocean." Then why watch, traumatizing yourself and poisoning yourself against something so beautiful... you should instead watch something about the beauty and importance of the ocean and everything in it...☺️🤍🌊🐠🐟 It's okay to educate yourself on the dangers of the ocean but it shouldn't be from a place of fear and instead a place of precaution🌞!!
Great video!
I love the animation it's very cute but in real life your like oh nope. I'm never going swimming in the ocean again 😂
I watched this when i was 8
And when i was in 3rd grade I remember our teacher told us to draw and write about something scientific and so i did of how jellyfish can sting, my teacher was very proud and told me that that was a brilliant idea x3i felt so happy and proud..-sniffs- child memories..
Jellyfish?!
The size of pencil erasers?!
That can kill you?!
You just gave me another reason why I shouldn't swim in the ocean!
Baby jellyfish
Can only be seen via microscope
Worse fact: An Irukandji, which is a Box Jellyfish specie, is 1 cm, and when stung, will make you feel immense pain, and in some cases, people have asked doctors to kill them because of the pain.
I remember watching a TED-Ed video in class and blurting out, "I watch this channel!" but not very loudly.
You are one smart kid. Keep being curious! ;
Wow, came for a video to learn more so that no stereotype or myth thing will gimme a nightmare and the video starts with saying I’m stung by a jellyfish. Great start!
I wonder how the lions main sting feels like
Ive been stung by one. Its a burning sensation that builds up. I caught one and while putting it in a bucket, a couple hairlike tentickles stuck to my hand.

The internet needs more jellyfish content
it took me two days to write one essay about jellyfish.
0:35 The jellyfish faces looks so sneaky .......
Do the jellyfish sting on purpose? Or do the tentacles automatically sting whatever it touches?
It's both an offence and a defence
raizard1444 they don't mean too they are just scared
+raizard1444
Well with them not having a brain, they can't have a purpose in life. Just like me.
raizard1444 idk
It's actually automatic
I'm putting a play list of these videos together for my kids to watch.

Hehe
Has just met a jellyfish in the morning when I was out the ocean for snorkeling. Beautiful and cute, the jellyfish is big as a palm size. Kinda crystal and moving slowly.
That sea slug looks so adorable!
The video is putting it softly. It does not feel like a sting it’s feels like a thousand needles piercing your skin.
False. I have watched spongebob and it feels like you're being electrocuted (which you are)
Been stung before. It's not a fun time.
How does it feel?
Nihar Rane Not good to say the least lol. It's like a burning electric shock.
True! I was so scared I thought I was gonna die lol
how to get rid of the scars😢😢😢😢
I was stung at Corpus Christi beach I belive, not a jellyfish in sight, and I go to the 3rd sandbar to look for some sand dollars, I feel some tingling, then a sharp pain wrapping around me, I used my good hand a grabbed the tenticles (bad idea) and kicked the rest off, I was hurting for almost a week... Yeah, life lesson, don't go to the third sandbar without a boat
This reminded me the time when monica was stung by a jellyfish😃
My friend just took a box jellyfish sting on the arm. It was right next to us both!
She's in hospital now, but she's okay.
I learned lots thank you 🙏
2:36 dat hair doe!
My sister go stung by one. And the tentacle got stck to her leg and wrapped around it.
Like if you said ouch.
I didn’t say ouch but I thought it
Mmm

How can you possibly have fun with a jellyfish!?
At a cat café downtown I was struck with shocking intestinal pain but my daughter (9) was in heaven.
I sat on a couch, smiling, hiding it, when the "shiest" kitter jumped into my lap, curled into a doughnut & purred like a Persian Sagittarius. The jealousy around swelled to therapeutic levels, as you'd expect. Healed
I like that sea slug animation 3:27
