Comb jellies, scientifically known as ctenophores, represent an ancient branch of the animal kingdom that split from all other living animals about 700 million years ago.
They possess unique biological traits, including their own nervous system and digestive tract, complete with two anuses, showcasing the evolutionary marvels of these creatures.
A recent study revealed comb jellies' remarkable ability to spontaneously fuse with one another, raising intriguing questions about their biology and offering insights into the evolution of immune systems.
This discovery, described as opening a 'good Pandora's box' by experts, indicates that much remains unknown about the strange and fascinating world of comb jellies.
