Jellyfish Lake, EilMalk,Palau
Remember the jellyfish scene from Finding Nemo?
That's pretty much exactly what Palau's Jellyfish Lake is like. Located on
EilMalk Island, this marine lake is home to millions of jellyfish that slowly
migrate across the water each day, following the path of the sun. Tourists can
obtain a pass to visit the island and snorkel among the golden jellies and moon
jellies. While these scary-looking creatures are actually harmless, be careful
not to dive too deep into the pool—the lower level contains dangerous amounts
of hydrogen sulfide, which can be deadly.
Usually if you touch a jellyfish it hurts you but in the video you can see that the woman who is snorkelling touch them and it seems that nothing happens. Why? Are there any differences between a jellyfish of our see and those jellyfish?
ReplyDeleteJellyfish doesn´t sting the woman because these animals do not always bite, but they do when they feel attacked. For example, when you touch a dog it doesn´t make you anything, but if it feels attacked, it bites.
