Some are longer than a blue whale. Others are barely larger than a grain of sand. One species unleashes one of the most deadly venoms on earth; another holds a secret that’s behind some of the greatest breakthroughs in biology. They’ve inhabited the ocean for at least half a billion years, and they’re still flourishing. David Gruber investigates the secret powers of jellyfish.
Lesson by David Gruber, animation by Silvia Prietov.
*Went ahead and asked a Jelly fish... What's the secret to your survial??*
*The jellyfish replied: Its simply a No-brainer*
Lol, water you talking about?
Akshay Kumar Yes brianer!, Jelly fish have a death fitish, They release eggs and sperm when they are being chewd.
Leon Fook Look for that "why no one ever eats jellyfish "documentary
Jellyfish: Not being a retarded human
sim61642 - i've had a lot of jellyfish! it's pretty common in chinese banquet dinners
I shudder to think that there may be a single immortal jellyfish out there that is several thousands of years old.
You adorn windows in order to conjure the thought of old jellyfish?
EDIT: OP used to say "shutter". I'm not a hyper-corrective grammar Nazi
fucking homophones.
holy shit
maybe one's been lucky and survived a million years
cooldude56g maybe
There probably wouldn't be a single one, most certainly quite a few, and not brothers or sisters, but twins, with exact same genetic layout
Kinda like bacteria
jellyfish's secret to immortality: keep yourself hydrated!
yjfy
have no brain. Thats it.
As a creature of the sea, that's a pretty simple endeavor.
Haha I was looking for this comment 🤭😁
*Death come knocking on the door*
Jellyfish - hold my Nematocysts
Lol haha
Im glad no jellyfish has evolved to live on land but if one does I bet is going to be in Australia
Yup
Most probably hahaha
In capitalist amerika, you eat animal.
In bat-s**t crazy autralia, animal eat you!
They said something about the box jellyfish being able to kill you in five minutes. Guess what?
It's Australian.
Of course it is xD
Wait... Some are LONGER than a blue whale?!?
asalmirkhani Yup, the longest is called the Lion's mane jellyfish, about the length of 3 school buses
ImNoobToo holy shwitzanoly
ImNoobToo yeah, I did my research after seeing the video.. What a fucking beast
ImNoobToo I wanna be a Lion's mane jellyfish in my next life
Thumbasher But because bootlace worms can easily stretch to several times their natural length, it is possible the worm did not actually grow to be that length.
wish there are also jelly birds, 95% made up of air
Karlnikolas Alcala lmao 🤣
then we could call them air heads
Atmospheric jellyfish are real
they would be like balloons xD
Hopefully minus the stingers 😅
In Brazil we call jelly fish with a much more apropiate name "água-viva", translating it would be "living-water", makes much more sense, rigth?
Sim, faz sentido, já que elas são 95 por cento água.
we call them "sea mothers" but i have no idea why
Well, calling them a fish made of jelly is also prety accurate to
No. I think gelatinous zooplankton is more appropriate actually.
@@switch-no-comply778 It's all about perspective man. I wanted people to call them "Hentai water tentacle professor's" but nobody agreed on that either. Probably because the name is too long.
I seem to remember that they also make nice jam?
Jamie Thompson You watched that on sponge bob :)
Jamie Thompson ahahahaha
Jellyfish Jizz ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)
THEY MAKE JELLY NOT JAM
All we need now is a peanutbutter fish.
"Immortal Jellyfish" woah
It's not immortal, per se, it just regenerates back to its basic form over and over again.
Nikhil Krishnan like, multiple life cycles, without the death and births inbetween?
+Tis I, FancyFangs When see the word "immortal" I think *can't* die which does not describe that jellyfish. Any sharp object will show you exactly how mortal they are.
Immortal is a misnomer, a creature that does not age can be called ageless, but they will still die if you drop them into the sun, another creature that does age but does not die due to ageing (some lobsters) can be said to never grow senile, but still pretty mortal if they get eaten by a predator. These jellyfish can effectively re-spawn as a baby, but can still be killed, so not quite immortal. I doubt anything is immortal in the true sense of the word.
The word used these days is 'amortal'. Something that won't die in the natural course of events but would perish given a freak accident etc.
dont forget that mr.krab almost made them go extinct

Okay?....
i think it’s really cool that there is some immortal jelly fish out there that has lived through all the crazy parts of history, the jelly fish wasn’t apart of those things but it’s nice to think about how it has lived during lots of tough times in human history and still made it through ok... makes me feel a bit better

No brain though
When you realise that spieces with no brains are smarter than you because they found the solution to infinite life...
Nothing
Nothing
Lesson Learned:
You don't have to be smart to live life
*cough cough* Best *cough* friend *cough*
W O K E
but thats not the sense of "living". Immortality might be the sense of "existing"
My only question is why don't we have more scientists studying these fascinating creatures?
Adrian Creates jelly fish
Cuz they already did..? Ocean is huge most of them isnt even found yet
Because some things just need to be left alone, Man can barely manage human studies
Research consumes a lot of money and is a long-term investment. Nowadays investors would rather spend millions in short-term scam business to profit quickly
@@chilloutlemur9979 We aren't gonna get anywhere like that ;/
"Some are larger than a blue whale"
Well now I have a new irrational fear.
*longer
just don't go near oceans
@@shafqatishan437makes it sound beautiful rather scary
Don’t worry, unless you are diving super deep or visiting the North or South Pole, you have nothing to fear. On the other hand, some of the most dangerous species are microscopic and live near heavily populated human settelments, so you should be scared about that.
I love the art style on this episode, the designs of the jellies where unique and eye catching, great job on the art!
you jelly?
Very.
this should be the top comment, but then again, I am a sucker for puns :)
we got her!!!...she's totally jelly you guys!
you fish
NICE !!!
make one more video with more details on immortal animals, if agree please like
Aman Raj *video
Aman Raj i agree but fix your spelling
my thoughts 501 Fix your grammar first.
I don't think there is anything immortal except jellyfish
Umenemo lizards can or could be immortal...they have regenerative healing
jellyfish: im immortal
me: *puts the jellyfish in the land* your dead
Well Immortal Doesn’t Mean Invincible Wait....
immortal doesn't mean that they cant die, it means they cant die of old age. They can die of natural causes like predators and humans that plop them on land.
@@bridgetgossett.marine.biol8580 somehow I laughed at this mainly because of the use of the word plops (it's not a bad thing) 😂
Edit : The original comment was "Plops jellyfish on land. You died"
@@bridgetgossett.marine.biol8580 immortal means they can't die no matter what. What we should name these jellyfish as should be "amortal". Amortal means you can't die of age but can die from other factors
@@hs.j7291 immortal just sounds so much cooler
4:23 Jellyfish manage to take over the world... before cats.
jellyfish remind me of aliens
Saurabhav super cool aliens
Yea they also remind me of a species that's never been confirmed
they are probably aliens as it is theorized that meteors and astreoids hitting the earth before it had any life contained the first building blocks for it.
Saurabhav or maybe jellyfish are native to planet earth and we humans and other animals are aliens
THEORIZED is the key word there
Did you understand the joke about the jellyfish?
It's a real no brainer.
MiYo sad existence taking someone else's joke lmao
well, to be fair his step father also took someone else's joke
it was my joke. the other person stole it and my comment got taken down so i re-uploaded.
Think twice before you speak dude
MiYo hahahaha funny shut the fuck up
So we need at least 500 million years to have immortality? I can wait that long.

I want to see a video about deep sea creatures that live around the hydrothermal vents. Am I wrong in thinking that these animals could have been around the longest of any "animal"? The deeps oceans have been around forever and have went relatively unchanged compared to the land masses
most deep sea creatures have gone relatively unchanged since prehistoric times.
Well the oldest are the "bacteria similar" archea. Most of them are thermophile, so they die at temperatures beneath 90°C. Also like all other species have them as grandparents.
And the coolest thing: some of these might live around Europe, one of Iupiters moons. on this moon there is water and fountains and there is the chance, that some of the 'soil' of Io, the moon which is before Europe, might have blown over and life developed.
IF there is life there, it would be independent from our sun, because the light barely reaches out there. there is just jupiter and his heat and also these sulfides, that also appear around hydrothermal vents.
I think you mean Europa, not Europe. :)
Yes^^ I just wasn't sure how she is called in English, so I guessed that it is too like the continent. Well, close enough^^
Levi Howell there not the oldest animal last i knew
We humans think we are so powerful and yet we can't avoid death while these simple/complex organisms can.
E.T Lindt you'll find as you explore the animal kingdom the most simple of creatures have some of the most amazing abilities
Well it is in their nature, we are supposed to die to balance the ecosystem otherwise humans will over run the earth because we dont have natural predators.
@@apdroidgeek1737 there is no such balance like that in nature
@@apdroidgeek1737 Well science has reversed all that. Humans are able to reach maximum life with modern medicine. Even new research is being funded into longevity medicine to achieve immortality. Humans are the most egotistical creature on this planet.
Jelly fish: Lokks like I'm aging TIME TO TURN BACK TO A BABY AND BE IMMORTAL.
DEATH: *Am I a joke to you*
Jellyfish replies: Welp, you’ve got all the others pretty good already.

Jellyfish are my favorite, I don't think theres anything I don't know about them anymore
mettro bug did you know jellies share 50 percent dna with bananas
Jessica Hudson , I knew they shared some DNA with them but not that it was 50%
mettro bug its not your favorite when you get stunned by one
dark shadow 12345 lol
mettro bug come to my channel for some cool Jellyfish videos!
Jellyfish are my favorite animals now. They're so cool!
Bye bye tartigrades jelly fish are my new favourite😂
I'd definitely choose to be immortal if I could just return back to a baby. That way, I could just read about my past life instead of remembering it but not have the immortal time perception problem
Then you'd have to document EVERYTHING in order to remember your life. What if you forget something? Then it becomes lost, forever
0mn0m8w31rdc4ndy I could just write biographies, and my current life would study it by their own interest so that way they wouldn't have to.
You can't guarantee you'll be the same person, the whole prospect of it is just scary tbh. Better to upload your mind to a computer.
Kinekuri But that's what makes it so interesting! Think about it; you don't know if you'll ever be the same. Just the genes will be the same, no guarantee about the personality. That means that you won't be bound by your past lives.
It may be just me, but I'm big on material things. The idea of teleporting people by transporting information and reconstructing it through other atoms scares me and so does uploading your consciousness because I don't know if it'll accurately represent me. However, things like retaining brain functions and putting it through a robot and immortality through cycles of literal rebirth make me certain that I am still me in a literal sense.
Today we _could_ repair our our old computers and other gadgets to make them last practically indefinitely. But we do not -- everybody wants the newest model!
One day, biotechnology will get so advanced that it will be possible to repair humans and make them last forever. Do you think many people will want to stay _the same_ forever? Because if we could repair humans, we would probably also be able to "upgrade" them in many fantastic ways. Wouldn't you want to experience the world as a bird does, or be able to swim to the bottom of the ocean, or be able to comprehend the mysteries of universe better than Einstein? And if you do change in every fantastic way possible, are you still going to be you?
These are fucking awesome
*These are polyp-ing awesome.
Jellyfishes deserve a lot more attention than we usually give them
This animation was beautiful! Great job as always.
I was shocked by how much I learned about jellyfish 🤯 just wow
2:42 in theory, that’s a pretty impressive amount of force, but taking water pressure in account makes it less scary
(but what if you touch it when it’s on land?)
I live in Hawaii and in the summer, we’re plagued by Portuguese Man of War and Box Jellies.
I love bioluminescence! It’s beautiful and soo majestic
From where do you get the best animaters
The animation is awesome.....
this animation and soundtrack gave me goosebumps! i hope ted ed makes more vids like these!
Anyone read "the thing about jellyfish"? If you haven't, it's really good and talks about jellyfish and a friendship. I recommend reading it!
I really love the animation on this video!
How do I like a comment multiple times cause I want to like this comment more than once
your videos are always so interesting I always wait for them eagerly in my subscription box! keep up the amazing work!
Weird, sticky, slimy and interesting creatures. Thanks for this video, TED-Ed!
For a second I thought you would talk about sperm. O.o
God: Everything dies eventually.
Jellyfish: Hold my Fluorescent Green Protein.

2:38 : "Yo listen up here's a story, about a little guy that lives in a blue world"
I really appreciate your effort and enjoy your videos. I really like watching videos which tell us about nature and animal adaptations and some facts about the same. I want you to keep the work up like that.
One of the most astonishing TED's videos ! brilliant as usual. Thanks TED =)
i wonna have the immortle jellyfish as a pet, so i never need to be sad ....;D
Michel Gäbe that's a good idea
Michel Gäbe no you'll get stunned
good news my dude you can keep jellies as pets if you’re willing to be a responsible owner and make sure that the tank is cleaned and tested regularly, really anyone can do it and not to mention how good of an attraction it is for friends or visitors lmao
U want one too
Keeping jellyfish is hard and i dont think some people sell immortal jellyfish, despite their name they are very delicate creatures. They do sell moon jellyfish they dont stingm
2:37 Yo listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
I'm blue 😂
I just wanted to say how beautifully animated this video is.
Jellyfishes are OP, even the devs' patches didn't work against them
TierZoo?
I guess the jellyfish has the same motto as before, "Survival of the fittest"
Jellies are my favourite animal, and they are sadly so underrated. We need more jelly appreciation hoomans!
Watches one TED Ed Video:
*Knowledge is power!*
I love listen to David Gruber voice and jellyfish it's really help me sleep. When I had a hard time to sleep, it's really help me calm n make me sleepy, idk why but it's happen to me all the time..
Omg i love the drawing in this video!!
I don't know if you take requests, but why do we cry when we are sad?
i believe they did a video on that some time ago. long story short though, it's thought to be a message to nearby humans that we are experiencing emotional stress, and to help relieve our stress.
They’ve always been interesting to me. Thanks for this
The animation style is just...... perfect!
Природа не перестает удивлять и восхищать...очень интересная инфа,спасибо🎈🎈🎈
This is such a great video!! My only criticism is it seems like you showed the jellies stinging with their bells. While some jellyfish can and do sting through their bells and tentacles, most only sting with their tentacles and it is perfectly safe to touch their bells! Otherwise this video is awesome :)
And jellyfish don’t have a brain or blood
I love the animation! Its like all the jellyfish glows in the dark and it remembers me to Pandora!
Humans: hey we’re gonna make the earth really warm and incredibly difficult for any life form to live in
Jellyfish: *no*
Uhh how do jellyfish evolve? At the beginning of microorganism, are they really just a jellyfish?
For eome reason I want this to be a game
With the same music and animation
And you can make your own species of jellyfish
And drift in the ocean
My love for Jellyfishes has skyrocketed more than it was before.
The quality of videos are so damn good. Thanks
The music is so satisfying!😌
I didn't know the real life pheonix was a jellyfish
Funny how I’m completely terrified of the ocean, and now I’m going to regurgitate the water that I just drank.
Videos like this deserve more views!!
Imagine 95% water lives more longer than you.
Isn't that green turning jelly fish called the hulk fish??🤔
Sreevathsa Giridhar no its snot
Its called the Crystal jelly.
I love the animation style in this video
Learning is always awesome with you guys
this was beautiful
jellyfish are one of my new favourite animals!
Love the jellyfish animations!!!!
Best information , visualisation , and amazing animation,👍
When I first read the title I thought it said that jellyfish predate (that is, eat) dinosaurs. Needless to say, this video was a let down.
wait i literally just realized lmaooooo
ohhhhh lmao nah would be cool
the immortal jellyfish is only living thing that can live forever
So many channels are doing ocean themed videos lately and i can't stop wathing :D
Oh god, the animation its amazing!
I have an assignment due in 2 days and i haven't even started. I find this more interesting. I should've done something along the lines of marine bio.
i for one welcome our jellyfish overloads.
I always find them so fascinating.
Once I went swimming and I got stung 4 times, still had a great day though.
So cool that they predate dinosaurs
This is why they have been my favourite animal:)
Would be nice to have heard more about the polyps since thats the primary livingform for a lot of jellys
These creatures are so alien-like in almost every compacity. And they are quite the amazing creatures as well.
Yet jellyfish are beautiful!
0:24 your sending mixed messages
Jellyfish are pretty cool. I really appreciate the hard work that goes into these videos. Thank you. ;)
Although still impressive, in my opinion, a "life" cycle like that of the "immortal jellyfish" makes more sense for creatures predating the dinosaurs because most of them were less complex.
