How does the moon jellyfish protect itself?

Answer 1

Jellyfish have cells called cnidocytes, which contain nematocysts, and located on their tentacles and on their manubrium. Whenever a predator comes in contact with cnidocytes, hundreds to thousands of cnidae (filaments of the nematocysts) are ejected in the predator's direction. Nematocysts' cnidae inoculate a poisonous or allergenic mixture into the predator's body.

Answer 2

Jellyfish defend themselves by using their stinging cells to shock the other animals.The primary defense of jellyfish are their stinging cells. Some species have more specific secondary defenses, such as mucus coating to stymie parasitic crustaceans, or luminescence to startle deepsea predators, or camouflage to hide themselves.

Answer 3

They get into a position where the prey or enemy are under they, then they shoot microscopic darts that are filled with a paralizing poisen into the target which will result in agonizing pain for the recipient.

Answer 4

A jellyfish protects itself. It can sting other things that may seem to be preying on it. It will also protect other members of the group it swims with.
