Mote Aquarium’s “jelly dude” – Aquarium Biologist Andrew Angelo – describes which sea jellies (aka jellyfish) live around southwest Florida, and he tells Joe and Hayley what it’s like to raise and breed jellies for Mote’s educational exhibits. If you’ve ever been curious about what jellies eat, who can eat them, how their alien-looking anatomy works, and how they sting, then tune in for a fascinating interview and learn some cool facts from jelly science.
Spoiler alert: Peeing on a jellyfish sting is not advised!
