Lake Filled With 10 Million Jellyfish
03/03/09 - Amazing
“If jellyfish make you feel wobbly then look away now. Astonishing photos have revealed a lake where 10 million of the creatures live because they are at no risk from predators. Hundreds of years ago the lake had an outlet to the ocean but when the sea level dropped the jellyfish population were isolated in the algae-rich lake and began to thrive. With no risk of being eaten, the jellies multiplied in the lake on the Pacific island of Palau. Over time their stings weakened and visitors can now swim alongside them with no fear of being stung.” w/ photos
