A few days ago by chance between the review of the classic children's animation "SpongeBob SquarePants", in this tearful nostalgia in the process of higher IQ I suddenly found the suspicions lurking!
SpongeBob often called on Patrick to catch jellyfish, they wear goggles and netting, ready to full equipment, but there will always be a variety of small conditions, often by the jellyfish electricity into a pig's head. So the question is, do jellyfish really discharge electricity in reality? Next we will come together to professionally unravel the mystery.

Carnivores
The main component of the body of the jellyfish is water, the water content of up to 98%, this looks transparent and lovely and harmless small creatures, who would have thought that it is actually a carnivorous organism.
During predation, the hydrozoan extends its tentacles and releases stinging filament sacs to entangle, paralyze, and poison its catch before delivering food into its mouth. Through its feeding method, we can find that the jellyfish's stinging sacs can entangle, paralyze and release poison, and this aggressive part of the body doesn't show that there is also a function of electrical discharge.

Beautiful but fierce
The U.S. magazine "World Wildlife" synthesized the views of scholars from various countries, listed the world's most poisonous 10 kinds of animals, topped the list is living in the ocean box jellyfish, also known as the sea wasp, from the nickname can be guessed from jellyfish venomous stings is no problem, it is on the tentacle of the stinging cells, cells can shoot out venom. The cells shoot venom, and each tentacle has enough toxin to kill 50 people, and creatures stung by the stinger will be paralyzed and die.
The jellyfish is a lowly coelacanth, but the box jellyfish has evolved to be more advanced than the average jellyfish, and has evolved 24 eyes that can look around its surroundings in 360 degrees, and can even see inside its own body.
The fact that the jellyfish is toxic is scary enough, but the fact that it has eyes makes it so powerful that it can walk across the ocean.
But don't worry, there are many types of jellyfish, and there's always one that's suitable to be farmed for fun as a pet jellyfish, such as this delicate little cutie, the Sea Moon Jellyfish, which is an excellent choice for domestication, and is much less toxic than other jellyfish.

Can jellyfish really discharge electricity?
After introducing a bunch of have-nots, did you realize? We haven't addressed this key question yet!
So do jellyfish really discharge electricity? The answer is: no.
Most jellyfish are poisonous, and although their nerves are transmitted by weak electrical waves, they are definitely not electrified externally. Jellyfish can zap people, and the sensation of being zapped is like being electrocuted, which is exaggerated to form a jellyfish like the one in the SpongeBob SquarePants animation that can discharge electricity.

I breathed a sigh of relief when the mystery of the years was finally solved.
How can you lie to me like that when it clearly doesn't discharge electricity! What kind of cartoon is this? You've done a lot of damage!
