Jellyfish-Like Creatures Use Multiple Jets To Move As A Group, And The Youngest Members Take The Wheel

Jellyfish Like Creatures Use Multiple Jets To Move As A Group, And The Youngest Members Take The Wheel- (ukcanadaus) 

~!~ A colonial jellyfish like species has been found that moves around in an unusual way // The species, Nanomia bijuga, uses a multi jet propulsion system to navigate environments, according to researchers // (ukcanadaus) 

~!~ As per reports of Marine Biological Laboratory, there are a number of marine animals that use jet propulsion system to navigate their environments, but the entire colony of Nanomia bijuga uses the system, and it is very rare //  (ukcanadaus) 

 ~!~ John H // Costello, an Adjunct Scientist and Whitman Center Investigator at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole and lead author, said the system used by the new species is really efficient as no developmental stage is wasted in it // In this system, leading end of the colony is handled by young members, which with the help of their small jets help the colony to turn // The older members of the colony are always positioned at the end to propel the colony with their larger jets // (ukcanadaus)
