Jellyfish

Jellyfish are an invertebrate species of sea dwelling animal that are so named due to their gooey gelatin-like bodies. Jellyfish are not fish. They belong to the Cnidaria phylum, which includes other simple-bodied marine invertebrates such as sea anemones and corals. The jellyfish is considered simple-bodied because, like its Cnidarian cousins, it has no head, brain, heart, eyes, or ears. Thus the jellyfish is also lacking in the sensory systems that correspond to these organs.
Most jellyfish are not dangerous to humans but a few are highly toxic.

Car Aquarium

Can you imagine that fish swim in the car aquarium? I was surprised to see this huge aquarium made inside a vehicle that belongs to the Bangkok Siam Ocean World collection. You shouldn’t miss these pictures! They are way too beautiful!









The Devastating Earthquake in Chile

One of the most powerful earthquakes in history happened in Chile last Saturday, measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale.
Over 400 people were killed… the bad thing about this earthquake is also that it provoked a Tsunami which was heading in the direction of Hawaii. The good thing is that the damage was minimal. The waves were from 5.5-6.5 feet.
