jellyfish world map to find a specific jellyfish location. Why do jellyfish sting?
Jellyfish is a passive predator; it does not chase its prey. In order to catch its prey it needs to paralyze it. In a fraction of a second the sting can fire a paralyzing toxic dart to the victim. Once the prey is paralyzed it is either swallowed by the jellyfish (if it’s small enough) or it stays glued to the tentacles, where it is slowly digested.
