Caption: The world of JELLIES
Caption: I got to visit the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, and by far my favorite exhibit was the jellies. It was mesmerizing, watching them propel themselves through the water with some magical, invisible muscles, catching glimpses of all their insides as they glowed... Here's a taste of what I got to experience. I hope you feel some of the same awe I did. _______ All facts are courtesy of the Shedd Aquarium website: www.sheddaquarium.org
