NOT a Jellyfish, a Salp!!!

Out in the bay this morning there were lots of salps, long, gelatinous things that are very interesting. THEY DO NOT STING!!!!

They are already starting to wash up on la Ropa. They won't hurt you and are fascinating to read about.

The stingrays, however, are out in force, so be sure to shuffle your feet!

HA! I've seen them before, but did not know they weren't jellyfish. Very cool. Thanks for posting!

Phylum : Chordata...
That creature is more evolutionarily related to humans than a
fruit fly or a crab or of course a jellyfish...
