Pacific Coast Jellyfish Digestive System
The Pacific Coast Jellyfish has a very unique way of hunting; it is unlike any other animal in the world. It roams around the world with its long, deadly tentacles dragging behind it. By this method, it is able to sting almost any animal that cross its path. Once it has stung its prey, it proceeds to swallow it with a hole located in the center of the underside of its body. The food is then brought to the gastrovascular cavity and digested by serous enzymes. The remaining shell of the organism is then ejected back into the water once digestion and absorption has occurred. By this simple method, the Pacific Coast Jellyfish is able to digest carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
