Contoh Teks Report

Jellyfish

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate


animals. This means that unlike fish or people, they
have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at
all.

Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no


heads. They have nervous system for sensing the
world around them, but no brains. They are made
almost entirely of water, which is why you can look
through them.

Some Jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made
by chemical reaction inside the Jellyfish. Scientis believe Jellyfish glow for several
reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attrack animals
they like to eat.

Most Jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water.
Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical
seas and in icy waters near the North and South poles.
