  • On Eil Malk Island in Palau, you can swim with jellyfish without getting stung. This marine lake was once connected to the ocean, but as the island changed, it was cut off. Now in isolation, it's filled with a jellyfish species found nowhere else. With no predators to keep them in check and plentiful algae to feed on, these golden jellyfish swarm and fill the lake like a cloudy dream. Ready for a swim?

    not only in Palau. but you can also find stingless jellyfish in three different lakes in Indonesia: Lake Kakaban in East of Borneo Island, Togean Island in Central Sulawesi, Misool in West Papua.

    • @notinmyworld8239
      @notinmyworld8239 6 років тому

      hello hello It is pretty to go and swim with the stingless jellyfish. But the main problem would be swimming below, because there's natural chemicals underneath the deep and it could be harmful to humans.

Well I'll be damned the world will not end if the climate gets warmer. (or colder) and we didn't even change it back then.
