Let's meet one of the wonders of marine creation, the electric jellyfish. Using tiny light-producing cells called photo sites, the electric jellyfish is able to generate bursts of light in a variety of colors. But how exactly does it do that? It's the magic of biological chemistry. Substances within its body react and [music] generate tiny amounts of electricity that illuminate its surroundings. This light is not just for show. The jellyfish uses it to deter predators [music] and also to attract small prey such as crustaceans and tiny fish. It is a remarkable survival tool in a world where complete darkness [music] reigns. But make no mistake. >> [music] >> This amazing sight can be very dangerous to those who come too close. The electrical current that the jellyfish produces is not strong enough to harm us humans, but for small marine creatures, it can be deadly. For now, the electric jellyfish remains a reminder of the mysterious power and beauty of the silent world beneath the sea.
