The most primitive peach jellyfish in the world

The peach jellyfish is a primitive low-level invertebrate coelenterate, first born about 550 million years ago, and is known to have existed on Earth for hundreds of millions or even billions of years. Experts believe that the peach jellyfish is a veritable "living fossil", with its own unique life formation record of the development of life on Earth, and also has the "water panda" name.

The peach jellyfish does not contain poison like the monk's hat jellyfish, but this peach jellyfish has a very beautiful appearance. Especially when watching the peach jellyfish in the water, these creatures are crystal clear and swim around one after another, like peach petals scattered in the water, which is very beautiful.

Peach jellyfish are mostly white and transparent, but some are pink and grow in temperate freshwater, with a diameter of 0.1-2.4 cm. They appear in early spring when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and when swimming in the water, they look like peach petals floating on the water surface, hence their name.
