Jellyfish Lake (Palauan: Ongeim'l Tketau, "Fifth Lake") is a marine lake located on Eil Malk island in Palau (a set of islands east of the Philippines in the Philippines sea).
What happens when you combine, isolation and jelly fish... no natural predators = no need for stinging.
These Golden Jellyfish can grow up to 16 cms.
Why do boring travel, explore and do the daring and unusual.
This entire lake has an ecosystem that maintains and nourishes itself. The Golden Jellyfish have algae that live in their tissues that provide nourishment. The algae needs sunlight to live, so the Jellyfish on their daily routine follow the sun across the water. The Jellyfish moving across the lake, pulsating and fanning the water and lake floor, churn up nutrients and organisms for other species to eat on the food chain.
The lake consists of saltwater and the predator that the Jellyfish do need to be wary of that lies in wait, in the shaded areas of the Lake are Anemones.
Mmmmmm!!!! Not sure about this one:-)
