Jelly Fish In Big Corn Island, Nicaragua

Like I mentioned in my last post, we are frequently in the waters around the island. Being in and around the water so much, we see a lot of beautiful marine life. We also get to have some up close interaction with the plants and animals living in the water (sometimes it's cute, but more often than not we'd prefer to keep our distance). This especially applies to the jelly fish that can't seem to leave us alone. 

Jellyfish can range from about one millimeter in bell height to nearly two meters in bell height. Luckily, the jellyfish we keep running into aren't very big or powerful, but their stings do hurt for quite some time. Jellyfish's stinging tentacles are usually used to capture their prey or ward off any threats. Most species of jellyfish live in salt water, but their has been a few rare jellies that live in fresh water.

Though being stung wasn't on my to-do list when we got here, it has been made a funny story and experience. We are having many things happen to us here, not all pleasant at the time, but fun to recount. We can't wait to experience more interesting things like this and participate in more adventures.
