Once thought to embody the souls of drowned sailors, Jellies live in every ocean from the equator to the poles, from the surface of the sea to the deepest darkness. Jellyfish are estimated to have been around for over 500 million years old - surviving crashing comets, mass extinctions, global warming, Ice Ages, and continental drift. While the Jellyfish is just about the simplest forms of animal, the species has immense diversity. Some pulse peacefully like living lava lamps; others beat like a heart going fast enough to burst; some forever throb upside-down.
As Jellyfish travel the tides and currents with languid ease, these long term survivors show the value and survival ability of simplicity. When the creator of life set about producing his first multi-celled animal, he said to himself, "keep it simple, stupid" and thus created the the utimate survivor. The simple jellyfish will last until all of earth's water is drained into the infinite void and the sea bed is dried out with some cosmic dishcloth.
