Dig into why jellyfish populations have increased, and how leatherback sea turtles can help get their numbers under control.

--

Over the past two decades, jellyfish have begun to overwhelm our oceans. If things stay on their current trajectory, we could be headed for a future where the entire ocean is thick with jellyfish. So, is there anything that can keep these gelatinous creatures under control? Mariela Pajuelo and Javier Antonio Quinones take a look at the jellyfish’s most ancient predator.

Lesson by Mariela Pajuelo and Javier Antonio Quinones, directed by Sinan Göksel, Emre Kanlıoğlu, Studio Big Box.

    i love how every bad thing we do to the marine environment seems to harm every species except for the jellyfish
  • @beccaf262
    Jellies are mostly water in content but when they’re breeding, which is a lot of the time, they are super high in fats making them a tasty meal for leatherbacks. They really are incredible animals.
  • I went from “WHAT?? Pepper grain sized stinging jellyfish?!?” To “WHAT?! 2-meter sized jellyfish?!”
  • @totalchaos444
    Leather back turtles are also killed when they mistaken ocean plastics for jelly fish. Fishing nets aren’t the only turtle killers.
  • As a jellyfish myself, I think our population is slipping out of control.
  • I have to say this is so beautifully animated and the background music fits so well. I love how as we humans create problems like hunting vital animals for the eco systems at the same time some of our brilliant minds come up with solutions. Those nets that emanate light that other sea animals can see and avoid is an intelligent solution to save other species.
  • A 200 kg jellyfish and a half ton turtle? Man the ocean makes me feel insignificant
  • @the_luggage
    I lived in a small fishing village in Peru and know firsthand how economically challenged, though vibrant those communities are. They absolutely need to continue fishing almost daily, so it's great to see that environmentally viable solutions exist to enable them to do just that.
  • @K4R3N
    That "I like turtles" kid was right all along!
  • @ljka
    I love how it began with a simple scientific exploration of jellyfish -sea turtle relationship then escalated to social and political awareness
  • This reminds me of the Star Trek movie about the consequences of whale extinction... This was lovely to watch as well as informative.
  • @terramater
    Jellyfish can really adapt! Our crew got on camera jellyfish in a lake in Borneo that got trapped there, so their tentacles evolved and don't sting! And the lake looks like a scene from another planet. There are so many jellyfish living in there, it's fascinating to see the footage.
  • Some species of jellyfish are edible to us humans and considered delicacies in parts of Asia! They’ve been one of my favourite dim sum dishes since I was a child.
  • @AnimealPlanet
    " A world packed with Jellies." Now I'm starving. 🤤
  • @adisage
    Loved the Finding Nemo quote in the beginning! 😍 Kudos and many thanks for another brilliant video guys!
  • Ive been in the mood lately to give away jellyfish, just randomly like in an alley or street, just to those in need of them. Glad to see the earth is producing a lot of them.
  • The new animator and the music are both unbelievable. If this is a new style and outlook for TedEd, I am onboard. It is sleek yet awe-inspiring.
