Unlike most pets, centipedes do not like to be touched. In fact, they may see touch as a type of attack and have been known to bite their owners for picking them up.

Centipedes that have to be removed from their cages need to be handled with care. This means using snake handling equipment and/or special pet gloves.

These creatures avoided while outdoors, and taken out very carefully (though many people kill them) if they end up in the home.", "A Good Defense is the Best Offense:

Red headed centipedes have tails that look very much like their heads. This confuses predators and can ensure that their most vital organs are not harmed in an attack.

When there red headed centipede is under attack and cannot escape, it will bite repeatedly, ejecting enough venom into predator to paralyze and even kill.", "That's What I Call Bloated:

A jellyfish is ninety-percent water.", "Jurassic Jelly:

Jellyfish existed over 650 million years before dinosaurs.", "World Travellers:

The jellyfish will sting their prey and paralyze them then pull them up to the mouth to eat.", "Jelly Giant:

Some jellyfish grow to be about 80 inches wide!", "Talk About Deadly:

The box jellyfish has enough venom to kill 60 humans. Box jellyfish, a.k.a. sea wasps, are not aggressive by nature.

Then again, they don't need to be, as they swim up to 5 miles an hour, tentacles dangling behind until something gets caught in them.", "The Jellyfish's Australian Victims:

The majority of the people who have been stung by box jellyfish are Australians who haven't noticed the almost invisible tentacles in the surf.

If you ever go to Australia and see people are wearing pantyhose on their arms and legs, you'll know why. They're trying to prevent stings.", "In Adventure of the Lion's Mane...

Sherlock Holmes is mystified by the death of a science teacher. What killed him? The Arctic jellyfish, of course.

This creature, the largest jellyfish in the world, lives in the frigid arctic waters. It has 1,200 tentacles over 200 feet long attached to a body up to 7 feet wide.

Millions of stinging cells shoot out tiny harpoon-like stingers containing venom. A person with a heart condition could go into shock and drown from from bring bitten by an arctic jellyfish. The teacher in Doyle's story had a heart problem.", "Sunken Ship:

When the Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish floats through the water, it looks like a small plastic bag.

It drifts along where the winds and currents take it, followed by tentacles that can reach up to 100 feet long.", "Jellyfish Overload:

A group of Jellyfish is called a smack or a bloom. There are many species of jellyfish that live in large groups with thousands of individuals.

Scientists are not sure how these blooms form, though they think such things as ocean currents, temperature changes, oxygen content, and other ecological issues could encourage communal living.

Occasionally, large blooms will mass breed, overloading the habitat with too many jellyfish.", "That Stings!

While most jellyfish stings are not deadly, the sting of the box jellyfish can be lethal. The box jellyfish is one of the most venomous creatures on the planet.

The worst stings can cause paralysis, so the victim should be helped out of the water so he or she doesn't drown.", "Down the Hatch!

You can buy jellyfish by the slab in Chinese groceries. In Vietnam, you can order jellyfish with red chili peppers for a little added spice!", "Sight Unseen:

Jellyfish are transparent in their natural habitat. Visiting an aquarium allows people to see jellyfish in a whole new light--an illumination light.

When the light is added to the blue-colored background of the aquarium, it enables people to see the jellyfish in the tank.

While jellyfish are interesting to watch, they are not used to enclosed spaces and can become ill in aquarium environments.", "Blind as a Jellyfish?

Jellyfish detect touch through their nerve net, located in their outermost layer. The nerve rings collect information throughout the jellyfish’s habitat and send impulses to the nerve cells.

While jellyfish cannot see, they do have ocelli, which help them to sense light. These two body parts help the jellyfish to navigate in the water.", "Sea Nettle Table Manners:

The Sea Nettle is known as one of the more deadly forms of jellyfish.

Also known for their carnivorous eating habits, sea nettles have a varied diet that includes zooplankton, crustaceans, minnows, anchovy eggs, and other jellyfish.

These slow-moving creatures compensate for their lack of speed with their ability to borrow.

The wave-like motion they make with their short legs and long body allows them to easily push their body, head first, through the soil.", "What's in a Name?

In Latin, milli means thousand and ped means foot. The name millipede has led to the common misconception that these creatures have one thousand feet.

The average millipede actually has between 80 and 400 feet. Even the species that is believed to have the most feet of all the millipedes, Illacme Plenipes, only has 750 feet.", "Bug Ball:

The common millipede grows to 1 ½ inches in length during full maturity.

Occasionally, you might find one curled up in a tight ball to protect itself from a predator.", "The Great Outdoors:

Unlike centipedes, a millipede cannot live in an indoor environment.

They will come into cellars, basements, and other damp areas in search of water, but will often die within a couple of days because the environment is unhealthy for them.", "Millipede Lifecycle:

When millipedes mate, the male coils around the female and holds her in place while he fertilizes her eggs.

The female millipede will then lay several hundred small eggs in various spots in soil. When the young hatch, they are small, white creatures with only a few legs, and will need to molt at least 7 times before they become adults.", "Friendly Giant:

The Giant Millipede can grow up to 10 inches long! Also known as the African Giant Millipede, this creature is a popular pet among arthropod enthusiasts.

Starfish have a small pigment eye spot that is sensitive to light.", "Starfish Table Manners (part II):

When a starfish wants to get the meat out of a shell, all it has to do is pry it open just enough to spit its stomach out through its mouth and into the mollusk.

The digestive juices turn the mollusk's body into liquid, which is guided back into the starfish mouth by its ciliated arms.", "It's in the Stars:

Most starfish are carnivorous. The typical diet of the starfish consists of mussels, oysters, clams, and other bivalves.

Bivalves are usually too slow to move away from the starfish, so they are easy prey.

Other starfish are detrivorous, which means that they feed on decomposed matter made by animals and plants. Some starfish prefer to eat sponges, plankton, and coral polyps.", "Blood is Thicker Than Water... Sometimes:

Starfish have sea water, rather than blood, pumping through their bodies.", "The Starfish Sense:

The eyespots at the end of each starfish's arm are incredibly sensitive to light.

Starfish also have pedicellariae, spines, and tube feet, which are sensitive to touch. Most echinoderms do not have well developed senses.", "What We Do Effects the Stars:

Starfish are very sensitive creatures and may become sick if changes occur in their environments, such as increases in water temperatures or pollution levels.", "Wearing its Heart on its Sleeve:

This is because a starfish's vital organs are kept in its rays (arms) rather than the center of their bodies, some species can regenerate an entire body from one severed limb.", "Starfish Table Manners (part III):

Starfish have two stomachs that are used to digest food. The starfish can project its cardiac stomach outside of its body to trap food, while its pyloric stomach remains safely inside its body.", "Dead or Alive:

There are approximately 1,800 species of starfish. Starfish are echinoderms, as are sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.

The echinoderms (Echinodermata is Greek for spiny skin) are a phylum of marine animals that first appeared in the early Cambrian Period.

There are 7,000 species of echinoderms alive today, but scientists know of 13,000 species of echinoderms that have become extinct.", "Starfish Abound!

Starfish are found in every ocean in the world, but they cannot survive in freshwater or on land for very long.", "Perfect Symmetry:

Starfish have radial symmetry, also known as line symmetry, which means that their bodies are made up of identical repeated parts."];
