Aurelia Aurita

        Aurelia Aurita is the scientific name for the moon jellyfish. This jellyfish is part of the phylum Cnideria that me and my classmates are currently learning about. It is translucent and usually ten to sixteen inches in diameter and has limited motion, so it drifts with the current even when swimming. Moon jellyfish feed on plankton that includes small organisms, such as mollusks, fish eggs, or even small crustaceans. Aurelia does not have any respiratory parts such as a trachea or lungs. It respirates by diffusing oxygen from water. The moon jellyfish also lacks any excretory and circulatory systems. Aurelia Aurita is hunted by various species. This includes the ocean sunfish and the leatherback turtle. The species is even eaten by seagulls, which often become very interested in the crustaceans in its belly. Unfortunately, the moon jellyfish naturally dies after several months of reproducing. It is rare for them to live more than six months in the wild.
